Hi Jamie,

After doing a lot of digging I came up with several names that might
be able to help.
 Todd P. Whitesel - States in a post from 1995, that he had the
software disk for the Zip Hard card.
BurgerBill (aka Bill Heineman) - did the original design.
Steve Parsons - Parsons Engineering sold the cards.

I too have a Zip Hard card I would like to get working. (Bad drive)
