>>I'd love to see those "numerous Zip sites". Can you provide URLs?<<

Sure. Here are some that reveal the innards of a Zip drive.

members.aol.com

spinrite.com

freenet.tlh.fl.us

accesszone.com

The only pad there seems to be in a Zip drive is the "cleaner" pad on which the heads rest when parked. Not to say that this is in itself a bad thing. But it does negate much of what has been claimed by Iomega Investors, particularly in regards to how the Flop! drive read/write heads, while writing or reading to disk, are going to be prevented from crashing onto the disk if the drive is moved.
