Hi.
        It turns out that with DOS 6.22 on a Zip, the os doesn't
complete boot, but it works perfectly on a Zip sys'd with
Opendos 7.0 or Windows 95.
        DOS 6.22 is prior to IDE Zip, so it could not be tested
with it. May be it messed with a FAT16 on something it thinks
is a floppy...

Starting point:        (-1)^(-1) = -1
Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1
     (ln(-1) is complex, but exists)
