Thanks for the help...I had been trying this and forgot to mention it.

I found a fix.  I had a 1.2 gigabyte Focus drive installed, formatted
into like 30, 30 megabyte partitions.  Don't know what I was thinking
when I did that.  When I would try to open the MSDOS zip with MUG!,
the file open dialog wouldn't even show the SCSI setup in the list of
disks...only 30 FOcus partitions.  I removed the Focus drive and put
in an 80 gigabyte drive for the focus.  Now the file open dialog
within MUG! correctly shows the SCSI drives/Zip drive with the MSDOS
format.

Thanks for your help Mr. Watson!
