Check to see if there's a module for that device.  If there is, insmod
it.  If not, you'll have to compile it, which means a kernel compile,
this time with the appropriate drivers enabled (either in the kernel
or as modules).  See the instructions for compiling the kernel that
come with the kernel source.

I don't know off the top of my head which drivers are required for
parallel ZIP drives.  I'm sure someone else here can provide that
information if you need it.
