I have an Iomega 100mb Zip internal drive model Z100Si. I was going to put it in my 9600, but the power connector (4-pin) is much smaller than any other I have seen, and the connectors in the 9600 won't fit.
It's a floppy-style power plug. An adapter shouldn't cost more than a buck or so at a reputable electronics shop. Tell 'em you want to connect a Zip drive and don't have anything but regular power connectors on your PS.
(Don't tell 'em you have a mac or anything, or about half of them will try to tell you you can't do that or something <sigh>)
This is it:

(Bad picture, I know.) "A" points to the power connection. (This is the back of a floppy, but the connector is the same)
This is what the plug on the cable should look like:
