I have been using a ZIP disk for a while, with no trouble.  I posted a
message a couple of months
back describing my experinences;  It should be in the archive on
www.netbsd.org.

Surprisingly, I have had absolutely no luck dd'ing onto a ZIP disk.  I
dd'ed off all of the 
data, but I haven't been able to put it back on.  Any hints would be
appreciated.
