Well, I decided to format a zip disk with LIDO and copy over a system folder. Moved the LIDO init and a disk tools image onto a floppy to make sure everything is ok. 

So i went back over to the plus, the ZIP doesnt boot. So i tossed my disk tools with lido init in the 800k driver, and it picked up the zip disk and showed the system folder as blessed. But no detection on startup. 

hmmm....
