Mac can't see it and says no drive attached or can't find printer or

I've tried to install any drivers I could find for the zip driver, 
scanner, printer, but still nothing.
It's possible the USB card is the wrong type.  What OS are you using?
I would try a USB mouse or keyboard with it.  Those are the most 
basic devices and will almost always be supported.

Also, assuming I get a USB zip drive working and share it, can my 
IIci see it and use it through appletalk?
Sure.  Basically any locally mounted volume can be shared using 
FileSharing except for floppies.  That includes RAM Disk (not certain 
though) and mounted disk images.

Any card with USB 2.0 will be dropped down to running at USB 1.1 rate 
when used with a machine running OS9.  I have one of those ATA Trio 
card and I was using it on a 7600 running OS9.2.2 with no problem, 
except for what I mentioned above.

The card has to be OHCI compliant to work with Mac OS.
USB 2.0 devices will not work with any "classic"
Mac OS because Apple and all 3rd party USB
device makers refuse to write the drivers. Not even
the freelance programmers who do things like OS9
Helper

the newer computers have pci 2.0 slots

You probably got one of those "cheap" USB card - they tend to be flakey 
under OS9.  You probably need to exchange it for another card until you 
got one that works.  Once you have it working, I don't see any problem 
sharing it with a IIci.
