ZIP drives didn't use a SCSI interface, they appear as SCSI "Devices" because they used the SCSI driver layer (like some SATA drives); the interface was a bi-directional parallel, as far as I remember USB to parallel won't work, it had to be an on-board parallel port with a proprietary device driver; towards the end of the ZIP drive life there was a USB version of the drive, your choice is either to find one of these or get a PCI/PCIe parallel card.
