SubjectRe: Attempting to mount Zip causes floppy access (2.2.16)
Hi Nick.

===8<=== CUT ===>8===

> The Zip is a bit suspect, as when I attempted to transfer stuff

Is this connected with the L-K thread a while back about some jumper
on newer ZipDrives needing to be changed for them to work properly? My
ZipDrive is old enough not to be affected by that problem, so I didn't
take too much notice of the thread, but I vaguely remember it.

I can't help re your floppy query though...sorry...

Best wishes from Riley.
