It also shows that the Zip drive has buggy firmware, since it > shouldn't return a sector size of 0 without an error. That is perfectly true. It's just that I have not the foggiest why the thing crashes, and this removes the panic. But, rewriting the computation removes one divl from the object code (replacing it by a multiply) :) With respect to the problem with the Zip drive: I haven't got the foggiest what the problem is. Anyone with a non-Plus drive has the same problem (as stated in PR 12041)?
