It could ve a SCSI ID clash. Without a jumper diagram for the drive,
there's no way of knowing what ID it's set to. Try the manufacturers web
site, or change the IDs on the Zip and CDRW to make sure there's no
clash.
You don't say wherein the chain the drive is. If it's in the middle it
should not be terminated, if it's at the end, have you removed whatever
termination was there before?
