So it sounds like you can use a Zip disk more or less like an external SCSI hard disk without any drivers ... brilliant!
I've thought about getting an SCA hard disk, but I don't think I'd have any way of partitioning a large one correctly outside my Mac (and as far as I can tell you can't do it using the System 7.1 installation disks ... am I right?). Also, to be honest I'm looking for something a little longer-lasting than a hard drive. I know zip disks can be fragile but at least they're easily replaceable. If money was no object I'd go for a PowerMonster and an industrial CF card.
