I have been able to copy 32 (31.5?) megabytes at a time. I made partitions
on a zip cart the same size as the ones on my hard drive & just dragged
one partition on top of another. I also copied a 6 meg PDF file from a PC
CD ROM onto a cartridge, then copied the file onto my hard drive so I
could write it to a HFS cartridge.

I'm still not sure that the zip NEEDS terminal power.

My zip works fine with an unmodified high speed Apple SCSI card-both with
and without a hard drive attached to it.
