I've used the ZF with most of the common IEEE drives without issue. I 
just tried again with an SFD-1001 and it works without issue, detecting, 
formatting with cbmctrl command, reading status and directory, and both 
reading and writing an image with imgcopy.

I then tried the same setup but with a 2031 LP and saw the same symptoms 
as those people previously, seeing multiple different footprint values, 
occasionally hanging, failing to read the ROM etc, though reading the 
status usually seemed to work. I also tried with a high profile version, 
with exactly the same outcomes.

I have most IEEE drives available, am happy to perform more tests as 
required.
