Hello!

My system is too old to have anything other then "Compatable" and
"Bi-directional" modes for the parallel port. Both of this are recognized
as NIBBLE-only by ppc0.

When I try to cp a big file (Wordperfect distribution) onto a Zip
cartridge (with ufs with softupdates) the whole system becomes "jerky"
and soon hangs -- I can still go from one virtual console to another,
but can not do anything and need cold reboot.

I used to be able to use the drive during Autumn (although I only
used msdos-formatted cartridges). Any ideas? Thanks!

	-mi
