Tim's new disk idea did the trick. The previous disk looked fine under Windows 2000, but I tried a new disk and was able to mount it with the following command:
# mount /dev/sdb4 /media/zip
David Chipman's fdisk command is also enlightening.
# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 250 MB, 250640384 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 239 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb4 * 1 239 244720 6 FAT16
For the record, mine is a 250 MB zip drive that connects through the USB port. I guess that makes it a SCSI drive.
Thanks for everyone's help!
