SubjectRe: ZIP drive as /dev/sda1
Date
I have observed that this one happened with the original TOOLs disk
I got with the drive and I can confirm that it locates this disk always
as sda1, not sda4... huh.. strange, I have always thought that the
magic 4 is a hw issue... Ok, never mind...

Thanks for your tip !
