Just following myself up to say that the syquest drivers work fine for my
scsi zipdrive except as I noted before it uses it as a primary partition.
It reads/writes the same format as dos so you don't have to reformat the
disks like you do if you don't run any drivers and apparently works with
just about any scsi card.  So besides the caveat about putting the zipdrive
as primary, it works real well (I just did a backup and the compression
actually was holding things up rather than the drive - my laptop is only
a 486-50).

Now if only iomega would rewrite their drivers like syquest did with the
added bonus of not putting the drive letter as a primary partition, that would
be perfect.
