If you got a SCSI ZIP, you can connect it to the SCSI bus, either AHA2940uw
or AHA2905. I don't know whether ZIP and scanner are intelligent enough to
disconnect form the SCSI bus while processing commands. If they are not,
you'd better put thos on a separate bus.
A parallel port ZIP comes with it's own PP SCSI like adapter, so that's
completely different. I'd go for SCSI.
