I have a Zip 100 Drive on my eMac under OS X (10.3) and has no
problems. I agree that it is great for transferring files as I did
from an earlier computer which had no USB or Ethernet ports but using
another SCSI Zip Drive. I also transferred files from the iBook using
a simple Ethernet connection.
