I can answer this one - Mkfs doesn't "see" the Zip disk geometry since 
the disk fails to return the information when Mkfs asks for it.  Since 
about Mkfs 1.4 you'll get a warning message and Mkfs will fake up some 
disk geometry that should work for any SCSI disk. The parameters it uses 
were provided by Bill Studenmund and I think his rationalization for them 
is part of the FAQ.

BTW, Mkfs is now up to version 1.45. This version has the old off-by-one 
error fixed (I was the one off-by-one), and it fixed a problem dealing 
with some 3rd party disk formatters.
