In that case, I'll fix it to do a strstr or something like that. What's
your ZIP drive say?

No, it does not work at all with that maximum set. I'm using the disk to hold
an FFS filesystem, and mounting it, BTW. See, in the old driver, it limited
the transfer, but it ALSO queued the rest of the transfer. AFD doesn't, and
I can tell this because I get random parts of kernel memory interspersed with
my files (that's the corruption), so I know all of the buffer is not being
filled. You need to queue the rest of the transfer too.
