As I mentioned, I'm booting NetBSD off of a Zip disk.  Would the driver
used there make a difference?  It appears that I have managed to get two
drivers installed on that disk; one, the original zip driver, and two,
whatever driver APS2.7.3 Power Tools installed when I partitioned it.  I
haven't done any controlled experimentation vis-a-vis which seems to
perform better, but generally the APS driver seems more successful. 

(The Zip driver loads when there is no disk in the drive; upon insertion
the Zip icon shows up on the desktop.  If I leave the disk in the drive
during startup/restart, I get a message that the zip driver could not be
loaded.  The disk shows up on the desktop with the custom icon installed
by Power Tools.)
