All Zip drives (Zip Plus excluded) are SCSI at heart anyways.  The
parallel port model just has a few extensions to make it talk to the
parallel port. As far as the adapter, my department has one for a Jaz
drive.  I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it works just fine for PC's. 
Iomega used to sell them, I'm not sure if they still do or not.  I know of
a few others out there as well.  A web search should get you going.  We
all know how that goes, though.  I once looked around for some bus
architecture information and got back a porn site.
