These are both 100MB internal atapi Zips, one 3 years old and the other from this summer. Even without the icon, if you just cd into /mnt/zip in shell window, and then cd out or even close the shell window, pushing the eject button on the zip does nothing. You can explicity umount /mnt/zip and then eject, but that then hoses supermount for the zip. This is exactly the same behavior I had on two other machines with MDK 7.1. Someone from Mandrake confirmed on this list that it was a bug.

MDK created zip icon for user accounts--with wrong URL. Did not create for root. Norm
