If they do, the access to it would be a driver for a USB device. The driver for the ZIP disk would be looking for the hardware registers for a parallel port, while providing an API for a disk drive.

On eBay you can likely find a PCI or PCIe SCSI expansion board. If you plug that in, Windows can probably find a disk device driver that works with it. Linux would almost certainly support it.
