Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I wasn't able to reproduce
this on any cluster Suns.  I suspect the problem is hardware related, so
you may wish to report the problem to hotline.

Additionally, you don't need to use mtools to access zip disks anymore.
On Solaris, DOS-formatted zip disks should be automounted on /rmdisk.
On Linux, there's no automounter, but "mount /mnt/zip" will work.
mtools should work, as well, but you may find accessing the zip disk's
contents through the filesystem to be preferable to the mtools
interface.
