I think you might need to find you need to load the higher level modules, like scsi_mod and finally sr_mod for SCSI disks/CDROM, AFTER you load the hardware drivers, like ppa for the Zip and your regular scsi driver. So if your modules contains ppa aha152x (or whatever you use) scsi_mod sr_mod Then things might work better. It doesn't matter if there is a disk in the Zip drive or not, it will sort itself out when you mount one. That said, I've never tried it.
