Additionally, the Zip drive requires drivers to run correctly on Mac OS. Iomega shipped a special "Disk Tools" disk that had the appropriate drivers on it so that when inserted in the drive at boot time, the host Mac would recognize the disk. You could then install the full Iomega Zip drivers.
There is an Iomega Guest application which loads drivers after boot time so that if you've connected a Zip drive after you booted the host Mac (naughty boy!), you could run the app and mount the inserted Zip disk. Dunno if it works with System 6, though. I know for sure it works with 7.5 as I have run it there many times. I never played around much with System 6.
Peace,
Drew
