Hi Michael,

this depends. Since your drive is internal Atapi, the device name is
easy:
hd?, depending on frist/second controler or master/slave.
My drive is recognised as a atapi floppy

The media I use or bought, are all mountable like

mount -tmsdos  /dev/hdd /zip

It's however more common that these disk contain a partition. For
compatibility with Macs (as stated on this list some ages back) it's
always the 4th partition.
For that reason, I'd try to "mount /dev/hdd4 ...." first.
