	I am one, who has an Iomega Zip drive sitting on an Apple High 
Speed SCSI card. The problem is with termination power, which is not 
supplied by the HS card.

	My card is a modified one, done by an experinced soldering man. 
What he did was to draw out a +5v from one of the ICs and into the pin on 
the SCSI connectors to provide a termination power.
