Has anyone had any problems with their Zip? I too have been using one for
about a year. Yesterday I was doing a backup of some stories I've written,
and during the copy I got some kind of wried -159 Copy Error here on my
PowerMac, and the files disappears both from the hard drive and the Zip
drive.

Has anyone had this problem before? I'm now pretty skiddish about using it
for backups!
