Well - ZIP is the same; ditto also. There is no standard for these huge
data storage systems except Backup Tapes like DAT.

For my thinkpad (it is an old 370C), I use a IC-CARD Ethernet Card (it
emulates a DE-650) and the Adaptec 1460 SlimSCSI-PCMCIA-Card. I never had
problems with this combination under Linux (the only system where you just
can put out the card or insert it without causing a system crash :-)
or WinNT.
Ciao, Hanno
