Iomega likes to count with 1000 instead of 1024 so 250Million bytes is 
actually 238Mega bytes.

As for the other questions, I don't know. I have a zip 100 parallel and I had
to enable the scbus and scsi direct access. I don't know if the ATAPI also need
these but that should be easy checked by recompiling with these devices
enabled.
