I don't have PFS, but I do have a Zip (with several clicky clacky disks).
>From what I recall reading, Zip disks don't allow you to directly address
tracks, as they do some in-house management of bad areas (hidden, and
uncontrollable by the user), and doesn't PFS do some trick like using
certain parts of the drive for it's special features?
Perhaps there's a conflict there?
