The parallel port ZIP drive installs as a SCSI device (it actualy does
under Win95, too, if you look in the control panel -- I think).

There should be a readme that was with the drivers, if you are not looking
at the manual.  It lists the proper steps you need to follow to install
the &^%$#@ thing.  Follow the listed steps EXACTLY.  I believe you will
need to reboot after you add the "SCSI" device, and before you can get
the system to recognize the ZIP drive itself.

The steps won't really look like they make any sense the first time you do
them (they did not to me, at least).

Don't forget to download the NT version of the ZipTools as well.

Good luck with it.
