Bob, check the jumpers.  If the drive is newer than a couple of months old,
it can be configured one of three ways:

Master
Slave
Bootable

If it's set up as bootable, it's going to show up as a floppy drive.  In
your case, it should be configured as a master.  According to my "sources",
pins 1 and 2 should be jumpered and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 should be
unjumpered.

Also, you might want to double check that, if your BIOS supports it, the
boot from Zip option is turned off.
