I haven't done this before, but I think it should work at least for the physical part.
That USB plug to mobo pin header adapter should work just fine wth USB 1.x/ 2.0 devices.
But I seriously don't know about the ZIP drive+IDE/USB thing. The ZIP drive may or may not be using the IDE/ATAPI language.
So it's up to the adapter to support it or not. Sorry, I only have got an old ZIP100 USB drive. 🙁

That's good to hear, and USB 1.1 is plenty of speed for use with the slow in comparison ZIP drive.
"The ZIP drive may or may not be using the IDE/ATAPI language."
How could it not when the drive in question IS an IDE/ATA based drive?

Best to my knowledge, the ZIP 100 and 250 drives are mostly the same. Only differences are the 250 supports the higher capacity, and can still read the 100MB disks, but at a slower speed.
