I didn't know there was a Katz zip compatable in Linux when setting up
an OLR here so those were my only error messages.
Fortunately saved my telnet application and OLR to floppy.

Going to try and slap the sound  card, I/O card  and drive in the system
tomorrow.

Been too tired of late to do all that's needed
and than too it's been sorta wild running Linux full
GUI in ramdrive for well over three weeks now :-)
