Is there a precise format for lines in the /etc/fstab file?

I've appended the 2 lines below to handle a USB SD card reader
and Zip drive, but connecting the card reader causes both SD entry
and Zip entry to be used. (Both 'hotplugged')

Anyone see anything wrong with these 2 lines, please?:

/dev/sda1 /media/sdcard auto ro,noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sda4 /media/zip auto ro,noauto,user 0 0
