I have a ZIP drive made by Panasonic, and where the jumpers are for setting whether it is a Master, Slave or CS, there are two options:

'Drive is A:' and 'Drive is not A:'

If you have it set up as 'Drive is A:', it will behave like it is a floppy drive and call itself A: or B: in Windows Explorer.
