I've attached a Bournelli Transportable to a SparcStation 20. The
only way to do it without the drive become part of the filesystem is
using a product called TransferPro made by DIT (tpro-request@dit.com)

The product is extremely sophisticated and handles transfers between
MAC, DOS, and Unix seemlessly.

There is a way ( via the /etc/format.dat) to make a disk part of the
filesystem however it doesn't have the concept of "removable"

An issue of SunExpert from last year covers attaching a Zip drive to a Sun. Also, Iomega has a document that go through the steps of attaching a Zip drive to a SunOS and Solaris box. Last I heard, the doc was available via their "faxback" service. You might also want to check out there WWW server just in case the have put it on line.
