Depends on how the ZIP disk is partitioned I think. See about
fdisking that disk under windows and see if it will then mount at
hdd4. Or, do you have any "factory partitioned" Zip250 disks? If so,
see where THEY mount.... ISTR a thread in LinuxNewbie list or one of
the other lists a long while back about this. Turns out, IIRC, that if
you format/partition the Zip disk at home, it mounts at hdd, but if
you use a factory formatted/partitioned disk, it mounts at hdd4. :-)
