are zip100's supposed to be removed before you turn your machine off?

I thought i read something about that, and my zip paralell ejects it when i turn the machine off, but my zip ide doesn't(different machines)

Yeah the Parellel unit ejects, I leave mine powered on but remove the *floppy. I have had problems if I dicsonnect and reconnect the ZIP while my system is running, so be careful there...
