  I've built two machines with internal ATAPI Zip drives.  Both are,
so far, running Win95 without the problem you describe.
  I generally have the ZIP and CD-ROM drive on the second EIDE
channel, configured in the BIOS to auto-detect.

  Windows shows the drive as "Removable" without installion of any
drivers, and assigns a drive letter as if it were a hard drive
(changable through Device Manager).  My external Zip drives (one
parallel, one SCSI) are specifically identified as "Zip 100"; I
believe those are machines on which I installed drivers from Iomega
rather than just letting Win95 recognize the drive.
  It's possible that Iomega offers a Win98 driver that might fix the
problem for you.
