The problem was getting any database adapter (at all) to work with zope 2.7 on 
xp (Unfortunately I have to use xp for this install - all my Linux installs 
work great.)

However, i have solved the problem and seeing that I found it difficult to 
find any guidance, I thought I would post the solution.

1/ Install python2.3
2/ install zope2.7 and create a zope-instance
3/Get the ZMySQLDA adapter from zope.org and place it in the products 
directory of the zope-instance
4/ Download the MySQL-python .exe for python2.3 from:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307&release_id=102893
5/ Install this .exe which puts new files in the python site-packages 
directory just installed (it would have been empty before this install)
6/Copy these new files to the new zope2.7\lib\python directory
7/Restart zope
