Duh, /dev/sda. How about you check with fdisk /dev/sda? I used to remember that Zip drives started at sda2 or sda3?.

Beware the Click of Death.

Does anyone out there know the path I should set in
 Konqueror>Storage Media>Edit>Selection>Create New>Link to Device>Zip Device?

My system did find it somehow after this as I was writing this...The device started

Thanks,
