Do you also use Windows 95, or was it in plain DOS?

Please read the questions in my other message and see if any of them
rings a bell.  `ld' has no business randomly accessing your drives.

The interesting question is why does it access the zip drive but not
the floppies?

Could it be that the zip disk device driver is the one that somehow
decides to spin the disk when something happens on your system?
