According to an article in GS+, it works with the Apple SCSI card as well 
as with the RAMfast.. I just finished a meetingof the Apples B.C. Compuer 
Society where the ZIP drive got shown off with a GS. We were able to use 
it as a boot drive, among other good features. The consensus seemed to be 
that if someone didn't already have a hard drive, the ZIP drive was 
probably a better solution for them.
