USB Zip Drive

[Jon Holman]

I installed 2.3 last night and saw in the documentation that it doesn't
support any usb hard drives.  Now a zip drive is different, but it is still
a usb drive.  I would imagine that there is usb support, how else would the
keyboard and mouse work?  But there probably are not any drivers for the zip
as of yet.
