I wrote a Zip disk from Linux that the Bush could recognize using the
zip file from your site, but the problem I then hit is that the Linux
ADFS driver can't actually write files and the Bush can't seem to read
anything other than ADFS. So I think you need access to a RISCOS box in
order to be able to get anywhere, unless someone can make a Zip disc
image available with the appropriate files on it or add write support to
the Linux driver.
