After installing 10.1 my zip was not recognized, no entry in fstab. Tried to create device using Create New/Device/Zip Device from the

and windows uses partion 4?). I did not see when it happened but now I
have two zip icons on the desktop. After reboot they are still there
and now there is no hdd4 in dev. What the !*&^% is going on. How do I
get rid of those icons and start over?
Supermount is a program that handles automounting of removable drives. It is usualy used for CD's and floppies, but it should handle your ZIP drive as well. But it does need the device. Now, udev is susposed to be creating devices for the IDE devices it finds. I am not sure why it isn't in this case. It is going to require some research...
My Zip 100 is internal IDE. lsusb output shows my printer and empty port.

The zip worked in 9.2 with no tweaking. What is supermount anyway??

Could you do something for me? In "/etc/udev/scripts", there is a script called "ide-devfs.sh". Could you post the output of this script with and without a disk in the ZIP drive?
It could be that the device for the ZIP drive is being created as something other then a /dev/hdx...
