Question Forcing recognised USB devices


I have the following hardware:

ZIP 250 USB Drive
Compact flash card reader

I managed to get both finally working as:

Zip 250 -> /dev/hda4
Compact flash /dev/hdb1

This involved editing my fstab file...

Everything worked OK... BUT

I sometimes don't plug in the Zip drive. This then changes the Compact flash card to /dev/hda1 ...

I therfore have to change fstab and any links to it from the desktop..., a right anoyance..

My question is: Can I fix the Zip drive to one position eg /dev/hda4 and the compact flash to /dev/hdb permanently even if the Zip drive/Comact flash is not plugged in???

Many thanks

I resolved my own problem, not the simplest way, but....

I am using auto-autofs to correctly determine the right drives etc, I then created a simple program to make a correct fstab and then add the links on the desktop...
