you can see in my first post that this zip has been working fine for a long time on suse 9.1

Sorry, I misread your original post and thought you had moved up to 9.2. This problem appears in 9.2. In SuSE 9.1, mounting /dev/hdd4 (in your case) should work.
In 9.2, /dev/hdd4 (or whaterver hdx4 your zip is on), does not exist and mounting /dev/hdd (no parttition number) works. You might try it just to see.
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdd /media/zip
I that doesn't work, insert a zip disk and try (as root):
fdisk -l (small 'L' not a # 1)
See if that lists anything helpful
Good luck [/b][/quote]
9.1 as well Big Shell. T'was that little trick of yours that got my zip working for me and I'm on 9.1. However, this doesn't explain how things got awry on jrev's system.
