Sorry Hardy, just frustrated with this problem and because I have not 
had much help from the list lately.  I would love to have a tape drive 
but can not afford one.  What erks me is that MDK9.2 saw the zip fine, 
MDK10.0 saw it but you had to manually add the fstab, now that 10.1 and 
above is using udev it does not even add a block device.  udev is nice 
because it dynamicly creates the block devices so your /dev directory is 
smaller but if it does not work......
