It did with mine.  I don't recall what the last few digits were, but
it was definitely an 05xxxxxx error (speed test).  There is a switch
on the ZIP (Counter delay - SW1/4) which allows the ZIP to pass this
test, but it will still fail some of the later ones (0Bxxxxxx and
0Cxxxxxx, according to the manual) unless you disable the ZIP.
