Hmmm... a couple of things.

First, not only does this drive have to be a slave, but the other one has to be a master. Make sure both are jumpered properly; there are usually some indicator marks near the jumper area.

Second, I've not added a ZIP drive, so I'm not familiar with the connections. However, on the various hard drives and CD-xxxx drives I've added, there's always been a spot to jumper them in the back, by the power cord. And conveniently, they have all shipped with a jumper connector! It's usually in an un-jumpered state, but it's been there.

Third, I know that IDE cables at one point did determine what was the master and slave on a particular connection, but I'm under the impression that that habit has gone by the wayside, and BIOS just uses the jumper settings. I could certainly be wrong, though, and there's nothing wrong with deciding to put the master on one connector and the slave on the other.

You might also try removing the other drive from the cable, just to make sure that the ZIP drive works.

Good luck.
