I have a parallel version of the Zip drive.  I ended up using Windoze
to change the tools disk to a usable disk.  However, I was using
a very early version of the Zip driver for Linux and it didn't
do anything fancy at that stage, like change the read/write
permission on the Tools disk, which apparently is a special case.
