     Our Zip Drive was moved from the GS to the PC (which has a SCSI 
interface card).  It turns out that the Sleep Delay can be set for 1-30 
minutes. There is no 'no sleep' option.

     The Sleep Delay was set to "30". After exiting the utilities, etc., 
the Zip Drive was moved back to the GS. On the GS, the Sleep Delay still 
clicked-in at 15 minutes-- in fact, it was 15 minutes to the second!

     Back on the PC, I checked recently modified files and located the 
Sleep Delay setting in IMGTOOLS.INI in the WINDOWS directory on hard 
disk.

     So, the on-GS Sleep Delay cannot be changed by using ZipTools to 
change the setting on PC.
