Dennis, I could be wrong here, but I think that the Mac unmounts the drives at shutdown, or at least tries to. Since that's when your problem occurs, my guess is that the system hangs because it can't unmount your Zip disk. Since the problem is relatively recent, try booting while you've got a formatted Zip disk in the drive. When you do that in OS-9, it loads the Zip drivers that are on the inserted disk instead of the Zip drivers from your System folder, If you can then perform an uneventful shutdown, it would suggest that the Zip drivers in your System folder are hosed and need to be reinstalled.
