Is this your unit?

If so, seems to be a normal floppy drive, but I do recall my Zip drive did look like a floppy but had other labels to indicate it could handle to much higher capacity Zip disks.
Zip drives could read floppies but a floppy drive can't read the 100MB Zip disks.
Are you sure it's a Zip drive?
Plus, does your motherboard have an IDE slot?
And do you have Zip disks?
