	I am running an Iomega Zip from my Apple IIGS via Apple High Speed 
SCSI Card. I think it is not suitable for the Apple II SCSI Card (Rev C).
So I assume that the //e will not have much problems with it as well.

	RAMFast SCSI will do as well, you don't need special drivers. Just 
make sure that the Zip is switched on before the computer, and 
occassionally, you might have to reset the computer in order to recognise 
the Zip drive.

	For the Apple High Speed SCSI card, you will need to hot-wire the 
card a little bit to provide SCSI Termination power for the SCSI chain.
