It SHOULD work.  The Iomega Jazz drive works.  You'll
want to use the HFS FST to minimize the number of paritions.
Splitting it into three 500MB partitions will reclaim some of the
wasted space.  Formatting it as a single 1.5GB HFS disks will
cause you to lost quite a bit of space to big blocks.

Well, the Zip and 1GB Jazz work for sure.

The 1GB Jazz works fine with the Apple HS SCSI card.

Add the 1GB Jazz to the proven list.  ;-)
