As for getting your GS to recognize the Zipdrive in all applications:
1.) Turn on your Zipdrive
2.) Turn on your external HD
3.) Turn on the GS
4.) Put the Zipdisk in the drive before GSOS is booted so that it may be scanned
and recognized.
Last, if you are working on the GS for a long time and suddenly the Zipdrive
Icons don't pop up when you load Finder, simply eject the zipdisk and push it
back into the drive.

011- Is a CMS SCSI interface card adequate for connecting
a Zip drive?
I have had a Zip Drive hooked to a CMS SCSI card (1990 ROM) for 2-3 years
in my IIgs without a hitch. Basically you just go into the setup for the CMS
card. It will partition the drive into 32 meg sections which you can access two
at a time-- It makes three on a Zip disk. Then once GS/OS is booted it tells you
that the disk is unreadable and asks if you want it formatted and you hit ok for
each virtual drive and there you have it. (I never tried formatting it with HFS
since I didn't need a partition l
arger than 32megs.)
The one thing to remember is DON'T EJECT THE DISK while booted. Go to
shutdown first and, when it tells you to shut it off, then change disks.

I would strongly discourage using the CMS card. It is designed to work
with CMS hard drives. I don't know how well it can handle removable SCSI
devices; and, it might not be able to handle more than 64 MB. So even if you can
get the card to work with the ZIP drive, you may not be able to access all of
the disk.
Another problem is that the CMS card doesn't support the standard
partitioning scheme used by other Apple II SCSI cards. It uses a set of jumpers
on the card to configure the partition sizes, and doesn't support the partition
map mechanism at all. In other words, it uses "hard partitioning".
See if you can get hold of an Apple or RamFast SCSI card, which follow all
the standards as far as partitioning goes.
