Since people are looking into accessing msdos zip drives,
perhaps I should mention again that at least with my zip drive and a 1.3
kernel, you have to use the sbc scsi driver.  The ncr scsi driver will not
report errors talking to the zip, but data gets lost, for example

% cksum myfile
% cp myfile /zip
% cksum /zip/myfile
and you get 2 different checksums, then
% cksum /zip/myfile
and you get yet another (3rd unique) checksum

(this is with ncr scsi).  Seems fine with sbc.  

Don't know about -current.
