I know this is 3 months late but I just found the instructions on how to install a parallel zip drive after installing your system. In the past I couldn't do it and had to reinstall the system to get my zip drive working as I read somewhere that you had to use mknod to create the device and I couldn't figure how from the man page (don't understand the minor/major thing). Anyway simple instructions are here: http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/10661.html I was surprised at just how simple it is! Took all of 2 minutes!
