fdformat does a lowlevel format on floppies. ZIP disks generally
don't require this.
What they do require is that you build a filesystem on them. You do
this using mkfs.
ZIP disks contain normal ix86 partition tables - a standard ZIP disk
is partitioned as one large partition using Partition 4, formatted
with FAT16.
