	3" Floppy drive is attached to Adaptec-1542.

>Description:

	Floppy disk is mounted (-t msdos) zip starts creating an
	archive on it.  At some point a bunch of fsbn errors
	(possibly a hardware fault) appear (hard error writing,
	cmd 4 failed, etc.) After this, zip waits forever:

    0   222   150   0  -6  0   512  564 getblk D+    v2    0:00.06
    zip -9 -r /diska/tcl75b2.zip tcl7.5b2

	Note. Tar hangs in the same manner on tape-drive failure.
	It can not be killed -- even shutdown does not kill it
	(hangs in system call?)

>How-To-Repeat:

	See description
