What was the first OS to support Mac OS Extended format?
I have ZIP drives on all my old macs and I just got a USB ZIP Drive
for my Snow Leopard machine, problem is that Snow Leopard only seems
to support reading of Mac OS formatted volumes not writing and my
older machines keep wanted to Initialize Mac OS X Extended disks. I
can use FAT16 but I was hoping for a Mac OS solution.

Mac OS 8.1 was the first to support HFS+ volumes. Note that on 68ks, it
only supports it on secondary HDs and not the boot volume. Probably not
a problem for ZIP drives but something to keep in mind.
I'm not sure how it would react to a new-style Journaled HFS+ without
the old tiny HFS volume with the Where have my files gone? file. I
suspect it'd work just fine, but it might explain why you're getting the
Initialize Disk menu instead of that little HFS volume.
