You don't absolutely need the Tulin drivers.  On the Apple card, the
Zip spins down after a time and the Apple driver has a smaller
timeout than the Ramfast one...so GS/OS will think it is an
unformatted disk.  You can spin up the drive by ignoring the
error and trying again or by popping the disk out and sticking it
back in when it spins down.  The Tulin drivers wait longer before
giving up so they manage to wait until the Zip drive spins up
again...
