yeah, I know they work with Spectrums and Amiga's - though I don't own any
myself.

Officially, Zip drives only work on PC's and Macs, but I am yet to encounter a
machine that won't recognise them as ordinary hard drives. I have internal (ATA and
SCSI) drives in some machine, and external USB (250) and FireWire (750) drives, meaning I
most of my machines can use Zip drives to perform quick sneakernet data transfer. Still
easier and faster than burning CD's, although availability of a fast network does
negate their usefulness somewhat.
I have RT-11 on a 100MB ZIP disk, and RSX11 on another. My 11/53
(nee DS550) with RQZX1 likes the ZIP drive just fine.
