Microdrive.  None of the z50's have hard disks :-)

Well, I'm running the 1.6 userland.  I'm using a kernel I built sometime
b/w 1.5.2 and 1.5.3, I believe.  Again, not ideal, but it seems to be
working just fine.

First we wait here to see if anyone else is having the same problem and/or
knows what the problem is.  I've never had a problem with my z50 that
usually wasn't already being worked on or easily solved by someone else on
the list :-)
