ZIP drives come in SCSI and Parallel port form factors.
I don't know if they come in IDE, since I don't ever use IDE.
The SCSI ZIP acts as a normal SCSI device (though it lies about
being removable media, or Windows95 would not need a TSD from
IOmega to make it operate).
The Parallel Port ZIP has a driver for 2.1.0; it was announced
in this news group (just today, in fact).
