Yes, you're better off using IBM formatted Zip disks because they lack
that special Mac partition, which apparently is hard to remove with a II.
I'm in the market for a Zip drive myself. I know they come in SCSI and
parallel models (for IBMs). My question is, is the disk that ships in the
SCSI version already formatted for Mac or IBM? I want to avoid those Mac
disks, including the one supplied with the unit.
