As I recall, it shouldn't need drivers

Everything needs drivers.
At a certain point, the drivers for Zips were loaded by default in the OS.
It could be that after Zips fell out of favor, OS X stopped shipping with drivers. I could be wrong about that, though.
All of my Zip Disks are formatted as Mac OS Extended disks using Apple Drive Setup.

As such they function just like any other re-writable drive (ie Hard drive) as far as the Mac is concerned.

These disks still fail to mount or bee seen under OS X on a machine that works just fine with them under OS 9.
