Ide-scsi only takes over for devices that aren't supported by a currently loaded driver already. So if ide-cd is already loaded (or compiled into the kernel), the CD will use the regular IDE driver. Just your Zip will get the SCSI host emulation.
What you might try is to put something like this in conf.modules:
pre-install sd /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi /sbin/modprobe ide-cd
This will load the ide-scsi module before the SCSI disk driver, and the ide-cd module before ide-scsi to keep the CD-ROM out of SCSI-land. Your hard disk is safe since ide-disk is built into your kernel.
You could also compile all this into your kernel and just leave ATAPI floppy support out, avoiding all this module mess.
