If you plan on using a ZIP drive you will need the Iomega 4.2 driver in order for it to boot the Plus. That also brings up some questions about formatting with third party utilities to be startup disks. Having never really used an external HD on a Plus, I merely pose the question. I do know that formatting third party drives was always a headache on the early Macs.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I wanted to point out that you do not need the Iomega 4.2 driver to boot the Plus from a zip drive. I have a Plus setup booting happily off of a Zip100 drive using the LaCie Silverlining 5.x driver.
