Jim, MUG! can read PC formatted Zip disks fine.  If yours
cannot, please email Peter Watson and ask for help.
The program works FLAWLESSLY with MS-DOS Zip
disks.  The trick is to use it in a program OTHER than
Finder.  For example, launch another program that
provides access to the Apple menu and THEN use MUG!.
Your PC Zip disks should now be accessable to MUG!.

I do this all the time with my Apple High Speed SCSI
card.  Rubywand has tested MUG! out with the RamFAST
and found that it works too.  Give it a try.
