Yes, I have SCSI support compiled into the kernel, and SCSI-disk as well.
If you have SCSI/SCSI-disk support compiled as modules they should be loaded

As far as I know all Zip drives are SCSI devices disguised as parallel/USB/
IDE devices, but all required SCSI-disk support because that is what they
really are underneath the disguise.

Try it and see what happens.
