	Don't forget that Apple High Speed SCSI does not supply 
termination power. A Zip drive connect directly to the GS by itself 
(that's what I have at home) via the Apple HS SCSI card requires either 
another device that can supply termination power, or requires a hardware 
hack on the Apple HS SCSI card to provide the termination power.

	Else, the Zip drive will not work properly with the GS.
