I also have one of those VST Zip drive modules that fit the PowerBook 3400/3500, but had loaned out the PowerBook 3500 (G3/250) with that drive module and only got them back recently. From memory, there was a VST driver that came with the drive and which was used, rather than the Iomega zip drive driver to make those work. I haven¹t found the disk with that driver...its quite possible it wasn¹t returned to me with the powerbook. For now, I seem to have mine working (or at least recognizing its disks) by using the IomegaWare 1.1.3 Zip driver v 6.0.4. I¹m not sure if any of the other extensions I have on the PowerBook are necessary for it to work or if there are other versions of the Iomega drivers that work.
