The Amiga's IDE is quite robust.  It could use a better buffer, and the ATAPI software came later (mostly from others); but it has handled every device I've attached to it.
Have you tried booting from an ide zip drive?

You can't. As he said, ATAPI sofware came later. The ROM driver does not support ATAPI drives and therefore you cannot boot from ZIP.

That said, you can boot from floppy or HDD, make the IDEfix driver resident and after that you can boot from ZIP, too. But not at power-on time.
custom made kickstart then....
