I'm sure an ATAPI zip drive could be booted too, if your BIOS lets you boot from other than c: (like mine, a Tyan Tomcat motherboard).
My SCSI Zip (internal) can go on any SCSI id, not just 5 or 6. Not sure about the external SCSI zip or Zip Plus in SCSI mode. Unfortunately my SCSI card doesn't have a bootable BIOS (adaptec 2910).
