An IDE Zip 250
Sorry it's taken me a while to get round to posting this but about a week ago a friend of mine was trashing an old PC and I went round to his place and took all the bits that I wanted. Most interesting was an internal IDE Zip 250. I don't have the disks for this thing and it's not really a Mac thing, but just an interesting piece of tech for my collection. Still, I wish it could do more than just sit on the shelf...
yeah it would have been much more fun to you if it was SCSI.
i like how LIDO7 just init's them and they work great.
IDE Zip 250 was an option, at least, on several models of PowerMac G4, so it's sort of a Mac thing.
You can pick them up on eBay quite easily
My G3 has an internal Zip 100 and my G4 QS has an internal Zip 250. Furthermore, I also have an Archos firezip 250 firewire which is glacially slow. 
You can use Zip100 disks on the 250 also if you find some of those
