I've got an internal ATAPI ZIP drive in my box (it's the SECOND device on the SECOND IDE channel). Harddrake sees it as hdd. It used to work just fine under 8.0, but since I did a complete wipe-n-install of 8.1, I cannot mount it within Linux. The drive powers during POST, so I know the connections are still good. I've got a known good ZIP disk in the drive.
