        Hi.
        You only have to:
        -Have a bios which can boot from IDE Zip (if SCSI, perhaps you need
a boot capable SCSI card, and let bios do SCSI boot).
        -SYS a Zip normally, with W95 or OpenDos 7. DOS 6.22 won't do.

        I posted this recently. However, I also tried to put W95 on a Zip as a
couriosity. I only got up to booting in safe mode, and it was indeed slow
(another step would be compressing the Zip). Anyone has all the tricks?

  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)
