I'd _love_ to be able to use one of my Zip drives with my Mod 100s,
but of course I'd have to program a DOS -- not one of my skills.
Wouldn't mind attaching one to my TRS-80 4p or 6000HD either, but
I'm a mere Unix sysadmin these days who programs mostly in the shell
and (I'm still learning it) PERL.
