I'll give it a go when I can lay my hands on a blank disc - probably
tomorrow.

Yup, I'd be interested. How functional is it? Any idea whether it can run
RISC OS apps? I guess one of the more important things to do is find some
way of easily getting software onto the Zip discs - some form of Acorn Zip
disc drivers would be fine for those of us with Acorn machines, but I
guess that's not an option for everyone - and the drivers cost more than
the unit itself.
