I hooked up my 8050 dual drive to the ZF using the same cable that I used on
the 2031.  The 8050 is able to communicate over the ZF without difficulty. 
Here are my results:

~> cbmctrl status 8
73,cbm dos v2.7,00,00,0

~> cbmctrl detect
 8: 8250 dos2.7

~>cbmctrl download 8 0xc000 0x4000 rom8050.dump
This successfually generated a 16K dump file on my Macbook.

The rom2031.dump file is consistently 0 bytes long.  I've tried several
times to generate the ROM dump and could not create a file that has a
non-zero length.

The IEEE cable I'm using is shielded and approximately 1 metre long.  Again,
this cable works with my 8050.
