You can burn ANY image, whether is be Unix, Minix, MS-DOS, it only
performs a block-by-block copy.  Your question on the ZIP drive
would depend on whether the ZIP drive can sustain at least a con-
sistent 150K/sec stream for a 1X burner.  I know the access time
for the ZIP isn't remarkable, however, a Jazz drive should be able
to keep up.
