SFF-8070 is very vague on which of the WRITE family should be used; 
it's only SFF-8020i that has anything to say about the two, and being 
for CDROMs it only talks about reads.

I have been wondering if there isn't some timing or size limitation 
that we're hitting with the Zip; it's hard to be sure what it's really 
unhappy about though.

If it didn't work before, it probably won't work now. 8)
