If you have the SCSI version, you need a SCSI controller first. Then set the
address on the ZIP to other than 7 (usully the controller addre) and any other
addr already on the bus. Put in a disk, use the software that comes with your
controller to "format". Now, this may be tricky. DO NOT LOW LEVEL FORMAT.
This is true of all SCSI devices and doubley so for removable ones. your can
actually render the disk unusable if you insist on attempting to LL format. So
just do the normal Amiga type format. Reboot, stick disk in drive, and
assuming your controller handles removables correctly, voila! Icon for ZIP.
