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.

I've tried:
Mkdir /mnt/zip
Mount /mnt/zip /dev/hdd4 (harddrake reports the ZIP drive as HDD -- it's the
2nd device on the 2nd IDE channel) ...and I got this error:
mount: /dev/hdd4 is not a block device
...so I tried:
Mount /mnt/zip /dev/hdd
...and I got this error:
mount: /dev/hdd is not a block device

Any ideas? I hadn't noticed the /dev/ide/zip directory before, but it's
empty... Don't know how to proceed!
