Hmmm #2: I just d/l the manual for the various versions of the Zio (from http://www.dazzle.com/support/manuals.html, link Hi-Speed ZiO! Reader/Writer Manual). They list as 2.76MB, Finder after d/l shows as 2.7MB, GetInfo shows 2,901,155 bytes. D/l rates were from 4KBs to 19KBs, with typical ~10KBs, but with occasional stalls. Oh yes, the updater d/l's and this manual d/l all via browser, iCab 2.9.1.
