It is?  I have the Apple High-Speed SCSI controller in my system and it
seems to support the iomega Zip drive adequately.  It's not the greatest,
as it does some aggravating polling when the Zip drive is empty and a file
picker dialog comes up, but apart from that, it seems to work just fine. 
It's even smart enough to NOT eject a Zip disk with multiple partitions
when you unmount one of the partitions...and smart enough to eject the
disk when you unmount all of the partitions.  Seems to handle disk changes
OK, too.

It's that 32Mb ProDOS partition limit that causes me the most grief...
