It could be the ZIP drive itself, perhaps it's an older drive
with old firmware, or, it could be something like an IRQ
conflict... who knows.
I've also had problems with my ZIP drive and W2K... the machine
previously had W98 installed and the ZIP drive worked fine...
now, the ZIP drive sort of works, I have to click on the
drive in Explorer, and then I am asked to insert a disk, and
all works fine. If I insert a disk, then click on a folder,
I am still asked to insert a disk.
I've seen Zip drives behave a little on the flaky side on
other machines I use also...
