i'll be trying to image you found for me, just as soon as i figure out
how to access the ZIP disk from NetBSD.  either i'm doing something wrong,
or this ZIP drive doesn't work....

sd1 at scsibus1 target 5 lun 0: <IOMEGA, ZIP 100, E.03> disk removable
sd1: drive offline

wonko@zaphod$ sudo disklabel /dev/sd1c
disklabel: /dev/sd1c: Device busy

i don't know if it access the drive or not, i should watch and see what
happens.  would have to remove the CD-ROM bezel as it blocks the lights. ;)

i know MacOS 9 can boot from the IDE controller, the copy that used to be
on this machine booted from the IDE HDD that is on that controller.

hrm......
