Can I use a Zip drive with System 6 and/or as a boot disk?
The short answer is “Yes.” The longer, more in-depth, useful answer is “Yes, provided that you get the right driver and don’t use the disk with later versions of the driver on different Macs.” JAG says: As far as booting off a Zip, you need driver 4.2. Be sure and use a Zip disk that has NOT been used under a newer Iomega Zip driver or it won’t boot the [computer] but it will work as a hard drive. You’ll have to reformat it under Zip Tools 4.2 or earlier if you want it to be your boot Zip disk.
