That's the great thing about Linux and open source as a whole; there's always more than one way of getting something done. Could you post up your fstab line pertaining to the Zip drive now. Just so that we can see what it says? I'm simply curious.
I found a program called gtkzip. I undid all the changes made to my
system and the installed it with YAST. I still trying to figure out the
interface, but it seems to recognoize my zip and automatically added
/dev/sda etal.

Now, before anyone gets mad at me.... You'll note in my post that I said that gtkzip seems to recognoize my zip and automatically added
/dev/sda etal.
Last night it was late when I posted this and I was dead tired. I installed gtkzip and the device flashed and made a noise. Then, I went to bed, exhausted, without verifying anything. I did not go into /etc/fstab and verify that gtkzip had rewritten this, I only stated that it SEEMS to recognize my zip and automatically added the line in question. I did not state that it did, only that it SEEMS TO. And it really did seem to; the device flashed. Today, upon rising late, I still cannot access the zip drive even with gtkzip. The device does not even flash today. But, on the bright side, I believe that I have indeed found a workaround for this. I'm going to remove the parallel port zip drive, drop kick it into the garbage can, and buy a usb zip drive. (The usb port comes up on the drop down menu in Konqueror for a Zip drive.) -Joe
