Never hurts to assume that this MAY happen though... If the ZIP drive has its own device driver (with DEVICE=) than whatever is in floppy.asm has no influence. Or is it really handled via the BIOS as drive A: or drive C:? In any case a change to init_readdasd in initdisk.c (+ your change in dsk.c) may be more appropriate than floppy.asm since the changeline status of a drive won't change after booting -- and I don't think DOS is advanced enough to handle hotplugging between non-changeline and changeline floppy drives...
