I have been using a regular Zip on my IIGS for several years now, since
they first came out.  Ramfast will partition them just fine.

Came up with a clever trick; I changed my regular hard drive partitions
to just a little bit smaller.  I was able to get three of these (I think
they are 32,516) partitions on one zip disk and I can use Volume Backup
to put the HD partition on the zip partition, if that is what you want
do to.
