Thanks to all thise who offered advice. The final working solution was
to use:
/sbin/insmod parport
/sbin/insmod parport_pc
/sbin/insmod ppa
and variations on:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
or associated entries in /etc/fstab to allow user access.

I've noticed that since I upgraded to RH6.1 (kernel 2.2.12-20) my
parallel port ZIP drive has stopped working.
I read on usenet that I should use:
insmod parport
insmod ppa
insmod lp
but there's a snag: parport says that it can't detect any devices and so
the subsequent commands are as much use
