   This means that there is no SYS file (program) with name ending in
.SYSTEM found on the disk, and this quit to an older version of
ProDOS's quit code. If you can boot another disk, find the ZLink
program, and if it is a SYS file (as shown in the catalog listing),
rename it to 'ZLINK.SYSTEM'. If it's a basic (BAS) or binary (BIN)
program, copy the file BASIC.SYSTEM to the disk.

   I've never used Zlink, but this is a general ProDOS problem you've
got here.
