Re: USB ZIP drive?

Alas I still can't get my zip drive working.  I've looked at the forms and 
here, and tried most of the tips that seemed relivant to my hardware.

Any one have a step by step instruction guide?

Here is one failed attempt:

root@bob lun0 # mount /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic is not a block device


The zip drive was plugged in at boot time.

under .../lun0/ I find 'cd' and 'generic'.

My scsi-emulate CD drive works fine.

I have these in modules.autoload:

root@bob lun0 # mount /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic is not a block device

I have kernel boot line that looks like this:
#kernel (hd0,8)/bzImage root=/dev/hda10 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi

hdc is the CD.  I think hdd should be the zip drive.  ide-scsi is probably not 
right but didn't know what was.

I have this id devfsd.conf, but don't find any thing zip looking:


# Create /dev/discs/hdd
LOOKUP ^hdd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc hdd 
REGISTER ^ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink 
$devname hdd 
UNREGISTER ^ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink $devname 
hdd 

# Create /dev/discs/hdd1 
LOOKUP ^hdd1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 
hdd1 
REGISTER ^ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink 
$devname hdd1 
UNREGISTER ^ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink 
$devname hdd1 

# Create /dev/discs/hdd4 
LOOKUP ^hdd4$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 
hdd4 
REGISTER ^ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part4$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink 
$devname hdd4 
UNREGISTER ^ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part4$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink 
$devname hdd4


Any one have other ideas?
