The thing is, I'm trying to get some information over to the GS from my PC,
and it's waayy to much trouble to move the two computers into the same room
and do it with a null modem cable.  So, since I just happened to have a Zip
Plus, I decided to try that.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it
to work.  I'm wondering if it doesn't have something to do with the fact
that my GS is a ROM 3 machine.

indeed, my IIGS had a 20megs scsi HD and it was only half full...).
