I think you use mk2fs to make a ext2 file system,  then create a mount
point, and mount,  I think also zip drives are scsi devices so you may need
to use

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/zip or /media/zip (if using suse),  try reading the zip
drive how to as I am not sure on the above - corrections and comments
welcome.
