I assume your device is a 100 MB Parallel Zip Drive. If so, it utilizes a built-in SCSI adapter. Hence, Linux should recognize it not as hda (which would normally be the primary (boot) IDE harddisk), but more likely as something like /sdX (where X = its natural position in the SCSI chain after
FYI, IDE Zip drives exist. I have one, so I should know. Zip drives come in more

the problem is first. But I believe it might be a

The System recognizes it as hda.
Now I want to mount it by using:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda /mnt/zip
(The directory /mnt/zip exists)
