Hmm, I can do a "dir d:" and the Shark accesses the zip drive, but with
no result. I *guess* it has to do with the way zip disks are handled.
It is not like a floppy disk, but more like a hard disk and allows 
multiple partitions.
The zip disk I own has two partitions, "a" and "h". "h" is the big one
filling almost all 100MB, while "a" seems to be empty. I guess, the
Shark tries to read the first partition ("a") and can't find anything
and gives up.

Unfortunately, I have no Windows box to reformat the disk :-(

Any ideas, how to use that damn "h" partition from OFW?
