Well, I looked, and it's actually a problem on the ATAPI controllers, as it
appears that the Zip drive is connected that way.  I was told by my father (who
put that element in the computer) that it was USB, but it wasn't.

So, it should detect as /dev/hde4, but it doesn't.  How does that affect the
problem, and what should I do?

The output you requested is as follows:

That's what I've got.

Furthermore, when I'm running in CLI mode, that "usb usb4: string descriptor
read error: -19" message will appear four times every ten seconds, which made it
extrordinarly difficult to use when GDM needed replaced (due to an issue with
not being able to write to the Xauthentication file...I had to reload the system
for that).  This also happens on startup with the kernel messages as soon as the
USB drivers are loaded.  There's nothing on that USB hub.
