Have you tried either accessing it or setting it up with a disk
actually in the drive?  It sometimes helps in these cases.
Good idea. I did this and then ran "hardware Information" in YaST. It
picks up the Zip 250 Atapi under the category of "Floppy Disk" >
dev_names > /dev/hdf .
But I don't know what to do next in order to be able to use it.
Thanks.  Kelly

Ok we've got somewhere anyway :-)  I'm just wondering then if there is
an entry in fstab for the drive?  I can't access my SuSE PC at the
moment so I'm flying blind here.  Is it possible to do a refresh in
YaST to scan for new hardware with the disk in the drive?  Hopefully
this would set up an entry for the drive.
Unfortunately, scanning/refreshing finds the Zip drive, but doesn't
mount it.

I don't know how to edit the fstab to add the Zip drive (/dev/hdf) to
it. Below is the text of the fstab (my system is a dual boot with WinXP
Home SP2):
