I think you might need to find you need to load the higher level modules,
like scsi_mod and finally sr_mod for SCSI disks/CDROM, AFTER you
load the hardware drivers, like ppa for the Zip and your regular
scsi driver. So if your modules contains
ppa
aha152x (or whatever you use)
scsi_mod
sr_mod
Then things might work better. It doesn't matter if there is a disk
in the Zip drive or not, it will sort itself out when you mount one.
That said, I've never tried it.
