Yes.  What I forgot to mention was that at one point it was working, and
then I did a mass upgrade (including new kernel/devfsd) and when I next
used the zip drive it stopped working.  When it was working the act of
putting a disk in the zip drive added the "disk" and "part4" files to
the zip drive directory, which I could then mount.
