Zip Drive Anomaly

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

Folks,

I have a 100MB Zip drive on my SuSE8.0 desktop machine connected via a SCSI
interface.  It works fine when I put in a disk formatted on the Linux
machine.  But if I put in a disk that was formatted on a Winders machine
(both Win2K and Win98) it can't mount the disk.  The error message says:

Unable to mount /dev/sdc1 not a block device

I have it set up to "auto" type the file system in my /etc/fstab file.  I've
tried assigning the file system type to msdos and vfat with no change in
results.  Since I can mount msdos floppies and vfat hard drives, I don't
understand what I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.
