If it's a ZIP 100, the driver you need is called 'ppa'. If it's a ZIP
250, you need 'imm'.

Just type 'modprobe imm' (or ppa) to load the driver. The device will
appear as a SCSI disk, and will probably only have the fourth primary
partition filled in, so for example:

# mkdir /mnt/zip
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
