Hello David,

Thanks for the information. I have had a look at the web page you refer
too (http://www.netbsd.org/Projects/index.html). The project is
mentioned at the bottom of the page in the "Projects which should
happen" section. Unless I have missed something, it doesn't look like
anyone is working on this at the moment.

What machine are you wanting access to a zip drive from ?

Simon
