No actually, I was going on really, really old data. My first Zip100 drive was an external SCSI model. I believe it was very shortly after they first came out. To install the Mac software, you hooked the drive up to the Mac, inserted the Zip disk into the drive, and booted. The disk mounted as a hard disk, and you ran the Iomega tools installer. If memory serves, the program was for Zip or Jaz, so I assume the installation method was the same. All of this was done on my LCIII, BTW (The LCIII was a fairly old machine then tho.)
