I am following this discussion with some (slightly bemused)
interest.
But I am not certain exactly what specifics you might want
here. My zip drive is an IDE device.  I have a hard drive
and the CD/DVD burner on the primary IDE connector and the
second hard drive and the zip drive on the secondary IDE
connector.  The two hard drives are linked in a RAID.

Someone (Dow?) wrote that the safest way for beginners is to
su to root and mount/copy from there.  I would posit that
beginners should NOT be given the suggestion to act as root 
unnecessarily as a mistyped command can do enormous damage.
It's sorta like telling your grandmother she can open up the
box and add a stick of memory. <grin>

other parts of the zip setup:

fstab:

/dev/hdd4     /mnt/zip    auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
