Your sandisk device will probably by seen via the scsi emulation, so 
it's probably going to be /dev/sda?.  Since your zip drive is /dev/sda1, 
I'd try /dev/sda2.  Mount it with filetype vfat.

Wierd thing is, that it's recognized first below, so I would have 
expected it to be sda1.  My personal experience seems to indicate that 
it works in a 'first one in wins' scenario.  That is, it could be 
/dev/sda1 at times, and /dev/sda2 at other times, depending on what 
driver is loaded when.
