Your Zip specs (11.2 MB/sec) are beyond whacked out. You got these from the planet Uranus. Here are some real numbers:

"The 200MB system uses Fuji's ATOMM (advanced super-thin layer and high-output metal media) technology. Sony will manufacture the drive, which will offer data transfer rates of 3.6MB per second, or 58 times faster than a 3.5-inch floppy, 2.5 times faster than the fastest Iomega Zip drives and 5.7 times faster than the fastest Imation LS-120 superdisk drives, said Jeff Ash, director of marketing for Fuji, which co-developed the technology."
