RE: TONS of old apple hardware and software
A friend worked at a local college in their arts department at a time when they were using Jaz drives, pretty sure that was the System 9 era...but I couldn't tell you for sure. Just googled it...section 5 here - http://www.ntanet.net/nta/Jaz.html - indicates System 7.x support. I would assume that is Jaz 1Gb support...not sure if 2Gb drives would be the same...

Re: TONS of old apple hardware and software
I own one and it works great even in 7.0.1, the drivers are not required for the drive to work, but the drivers offer helpful things like eject and other tools.

Re: TONS of old apple hardware and software
That's correct. At the time, they were used a lot in multimedia businesses, since they were 1G and zips at the time couldn't hold that much. They are physically bigger, about 4" x 4" x 0.5". The drive I have is an external/portable, and requires a SCSI port, so I believe they were a bit faster data transfer also at the time, unless the zips were scsi, I don't remember.
