The active partition for the ZIP *IS* number 4. Anything else is Linux-only,
and can't be utilized by other operating systems.The correct fstab entry for an IDE ZIP drive that is a secondary slave is:
/dev/hdd4 /zip vfat noauto,user 0 0
The correct way to use a parallell ZIP drive is to modprobe ppa and having
the following fstab entry:/dev/sda4 /zip vfat noauto,user 0 0
My experience is that if there is an Adaptec AHA2940 controller as well in
the computer, ppa does not work as planned...All in all, ZIP drives ALWAYS use the fourth partition ( a rotten apple from
the mac world ). Of course, you can fdisk ZIP disks, and create whatever
partitions you like... But in the end, if you use the disks to transfer data
to other computers, it's only the fourth partition that counts.- -tosi
