AFAIK, you can't get just the ZIP drive working with IDE-SCSI. I know
that with CDROM drives, if you compile in IDE CD support, it gets used
instead of the IDE-SCSI. So, you leave out IDE CD support, include
IDE-SCSI, and include SCSI CD. In this case, you'd have to leave out IDE
disk support, which means that your hard drive would be using IDE SCSI
(which I don't think will work as hard drives aren't ATAPI). Just include
the IDE Floppy support to get your IDE zip working :)
