Lovely. That means that something altogether different was causing the random
disk block overwrites. Maybe it's the ZipGS and the Ramfast firmware driver
corrupting the O/S cache and causing blocks to get written back to disk with
the wrong data in them...?

What is the 'known incompatibility' between the Zip and the Ramfast anyway,
and are Zip &/or CVT going to mail me or do I have to call them?
