Reading Zip disks

I'm having trouble viewing or reading the contents of a zip750 disk. SUSE 10 is mounting the drive, the fstab entry is
/dev/hdb4 /media/zip vfat noauto,user 0 0
and there's a shortcut on the desktop. But if I try to view a FAT formatted disk, I'm told it "can't list the folder contents". What I have to do is remount it by the sequence
linux:~ # mount -t vfat /dev/hdb /tmp/zip
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
linux:~ # mount -t vfat /dev/hdb4 /media/zip
linux:~ #
the first command generates the hdb4 block device, which is initially missing. The second command mounts the drive for viewing FAT disks. Looking around the Web, there was a solution in SUSE 9.2 dropping the index 4 from the fstab entry. This does not work in SUSE 10. Why is this? The Zip drive is an ATAPI internal.
