Just like to say, I have one installed, and it is mounted as a standard IDE
device.

One curious thing however, when you 'umount' it, if you have been accessing
it recently, it won't allow you to eject the disc for a good 5 minuites or
so.  If you havn't accessed it for a while, it'll pop out as soon as you
press the button.

Note: I have no zip utilities installed, so it's maybe not too sure about
the drive.
