You should just treat it like it's a SCSI drive. After I plugged in my SCSI
Zip drive, Linux just gave it a SCSI ID like the rest of 'em, and it worked
just fine. To find out what sd device it is, do something like fdisk -l (or
is it pdisk? ... I've got a mac, so for me it's mac-fdisk) Your kernel should
recognize that it's there, too. Check dmesg for information about it.
