I have seen this issue created by internal IDE zip drives and/or
internal LS-120 drives.  Usually, upgrading the BIOS will solve the
issue if it is the LS-120 drive and using the latest IOMEGA drivers
will solve the issue should it be the zip drive.

I cannot say this will solve your problems since your LS-120 drive
is an external and the zip is SCSI.  But, if you are careful with
flashing your BIOS, these are easy fixes to try with little risk.
