Under Linux, I dd'd the zipimage to a zip disk: once it had completed
(took about 30 minutes to write!!) I was able to mount both the zip
disk, and the original image (using the loop driver) but in each case I
had the same experience: it recognised that it was an ADFS disk, but I
couldn't write anything to it. I tried everything I could think of:
using different mount options, and various chmod permutations, but
nothing worked. I had definitely enabled write on the ADFS driver
configuration. However, the kernel setup did say that write support was
highly experimental and "dangerous", and I'm wondering whether it's
maybe hard-disabled in my version of the driver. 

Damned frustrating, as it looks as though it could be the last major
obstacle!!
