I checked NTDOC's code a little bit and it seems to check the diskspace too, right?
so non existent zip floppy offcourse cause's error. that's also why it can't be queried.
it's just the same when you try to list with dir a: when floppy ain't present.

so the info you can get is that if the zip-drive is installed or not.
