[ale] zip drive question

[Geoffrey]

You have to treat it like a hard drive, not a floppy.  You fdisk it then 
format it.  You can actually put multiple partitions on it if you want.

I once purchased a bunch of zip cartidges from some guy real  cheap 
because he'd bought ones that were mac formated and didn't think he 
could use them.  I didn't intentionally take him by the way, I explained 
to him that he could use them, and to fdisk/format.  He was absolutely 
convinced they would not work.  He was going to give them to me.  I paid 
him something so I could sleep at night.
