Look for ZIP driver implementation on Amiga computers, AFAIR, it was
done from scratch with no Iomega help.

I need to know exactly which ATAPI commands have been implemented.
I doubt that such a manual was published; it may not even have existed
inside Iomega. By the time those were introduced, the OEM manuals for
disk drives usually just stated that they were compliant with various
standards (e.g., SFF-8020 and SFF-8070), and did not document the
commands.
The only sure way to know if a particular command is implemented on a
drive is to issue the command to the drive and check the result. That was
true even when real OEM manuals were available, as the OEM manuals often
had errors and omissions.
