Try /dev/sdXY devices. The Zip drive will show up as a SCSI disk
device using the ppa driver. It also depends on what partition(s) is(are)
on the zip disk. For example, when I format a zip as a DOS fs, it's always
/dev/sdb4 on my linux box, but if it's ext2fs, I can specify the
partition, and it (depending on how I partition it) is usually
/dev/sdb1...
