yes. i use external Zip drive which connects to the parallel port of my
computer. compile your kernel to support SCSI devices, SCSI disk, and
support for IOMEGA Zip Drive parallel. the next time you boot (if your Zip
drive is connected) you will see that it can identify it (/dev/sda4). you
can also compile it as a module.
