Hi Bill, it looks like I'm in your neck of the woods (Alt Sprgs).
I'd love to get togeather and run a few tests sometime.  Actually,
there are only a couple of times I'd be concerned about.

1) How fast can I compile a large project (using Visual C++ 4.0).

2) How well can it play back MPEG files (for multmedia apps).

That probably wouldn't cover everyone elses needs, but I think that
the first one combines data throughput and seek time.  The second
covers just raw throughput.

I didn't mean to infer that the Zip doesn't look like an HD, just
that I knew that the EZ did.  Actually I'm not sure if I understand
how to make the BIOS view removables as HDs.  I don't believe I've
ever seen an option like that.
