I don't know, myself, but most likely.

Internal ZIP-100 drives may be IDE or ATAPI; TTBOMK most that have been
sold are ATAPI and a few were IDE.
Iomega have sold multitudes of comblications of the ZIP-100 drive so the
last poster wasn't very accurate. As far as I know these exist or once
existed on the market:
Parallel port -connected external ZIP-100
SCSI -connected external ZIP-100
PCICIA -connected external ZIP-100
IDE internal ZIP-100
ATAPI internal ZIP-100
SCSI internal ZIP-100
I wish I could get ahold of one of the lattermost (internal-SCSI) but
Iomega ditched them long ago...
