The driver is called imm and it puts the external zip drive on a scsi
device (sda if you don't have any other scsi device) and the disk is on
partition 4. I.e. /dev/sda4
Most modern/current distros (Mandrake I'm sure of) will recognize the
zip drive when probing ports and insert it in the proper files.
