What drivers under what operating system are you using? I'm extremely
interested because yesterday we bought a parallel zip drive for
testing purposes and we've had less success than you have.

This could be a result of a timeout. Please do this:
mkdir \tmp
executor -debug fast -logerr
This will create a file \tmp\err.out which I'd like you to then e-mail
to bugs@ardi.com. Remind me what processor and what speed it's
running at when you send me the e-mail.

I'll worry about #2 and #3 after I know more about #1. Again, now
that we have a device in house I think we'll get it working fairly
soon, although I was up all night looking into the problem (we got our
drive around 4pm) and haven't solved it yet -- maybe Mat will have
better ideas when he comes in later today.

We're not sure what happened there. It sounds like a bad thing to me.
We'll look into it.
