It all seems to have settled down:

SCSIProbe 4.0 sees only the SCSI Zip drive in slot 6 and the un-named
device in slot 7, which I presume is the Mac's SCSI controller. Updating
makes no difference.

Drive Setup sees all the drives but calls the SCSI Zip "not supported" on
bus 0, id 6. It sees the two HD partitions as the same ATA disk on bus 0,
id 0, the built in Zip as a "Zip 100" and the CD-ROM, both as ATA drives on
bus 1.

If I ever wanted to reformat my larger, 3.5Gb partition as HFS+ (not yet
but maybe one day), what software would I use?
