You mean, how to use the ZIP under Linux? for a parallel port ZIP look at http://www.torque.net/parport for the parport driver patch. It uses EPP or ECP on the parallel port and is a factor of 5 faster than with the standard port. For SCSI and ATAPI ZIP just install a recent kernel, kernel-image-2.0.33 should do it. In the SCSI case of course yor SCSI adapter needs to be supported by your kernel too.
