CWSIV,

While I can't speak with certainty, I'm thinking you probably have nothing to 
worry about. I did not have the zip drive attached when I installed 8.0, but 
I did plug it in later. Have to admit this was one of those times when I 
missed having Windows go "Oh, there's some new peripheral attached. Do I have 
a driver?"

I've never really had a problem with SuSE not recognizing hardware on install, 
going back to v5.3. Just afterwards.
