Can a driver be provided? My situation is the same as yours, zip drives a × when it starts upHi everyone. I thought I would post an update. It took a while for me to get a compatible Zip drive and proper SCSI cable (amazingly the PC version is male/female and the Mac version is male/male - silly). In short though, it works! The Zip drive driver loaded correctly and I was able to format a Zip disk and install system 6.0.8. Fortunately the PC version Zip drive did not damage my SCSI controller on the motherboard as cheesestraws warned. I guess I got lucky. Thanks again everyone for your help!

I also made it according to his steps, it seems that it may be caused by my ZIP250. Are you using the zip100 PC version or the MAC version?You can download it from Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/iomega-zip-install-disk-v42
Also, it's in German, but this is a great YouTube video on how to do it. You should be able to follow along with his steps, he does a good job with video of each step.
Hope this helps!
Yes, I am using the Mac Zip 100 model Z100S2. It's the one that has SCSI termination and ID switches on the back.I also made it according to his steps, it seems that it may be caused by my ZIP250. Are you using the zip100 PC version or the MAC version?

This is my situation ~ I installed a 7.1 system on a Macintosh ~ and then put the zip driver into the extension. When starting, the lower right corner shows that the zip drive is an X~ After entering the system, it prompts that the ZIP drive cannot be found.To clarify what I said, the Zip250 requires a driver that is newer than System 6 can support.
You might be able to format a disk using Lido or Silverlining or FWB Hard Disk Toolkit and boot it that way.

Thank you very much ~ I am going to try the 5x ZIP driver on my SEThe Zip250 requires Iomega driver version 5.0 and above. The Macintosh Plus supports Iomega driver 4.x and does not fully support the 5.x and above drivers.
If you format a Zip disk using a third-party tool (like I mentioned above), you don't need the Iomega extension anymore. Lido/SilverLining/FWB HDT become the disk driver and the system no longer sees it as a Zip disk (so to speak) but a regular SCSI drive.
I use the startup disk and want to format the ZIP disk. The driver cannot run correctly. Maybe the reason for the 250 model
