You could try the Apple one. This can be found on one of the update discs for system 7.5.?. To use it on a ZIP drive you will have to download a patch from a shareware archive. I use a mirror to the umich archive. I can't give the umich address because I can't remember it. You will run into trouble with version numbers . The patch is very fussy about versions but I can't remember the details. If the worst comes to the worst I could probably pass on APS.
