No, the Macintosh requires software to use the Zip drive.  Win95
however requires nothing if you use SCSI support.  However, some of
the advanced features of the Zip drive, like write protecting, are not
available when you use the "pure" Win95 support for the Zip drive.
And you can't use the ZipTools unless you use Iomega's driver.
