I have the same configuration. It worked fine until I upgraded to a TX
motherboard. After that Linux would not recognize my cdrom drive. I finally
got it workin with the cdrom as slave to the zip, and added this line to
my /tec/lilo.conf:
append="hdc=cdrom"
It gives me a warning or two at bootup, but every thing works fine.
