Took an old Centronics cable, cut it and soldered a female DB25 to it 1:1. The drive worked first try!
Considering that I got the drive totally shattered into a dozen different plastic pieces it is actually a miracle. It came with the original setup floppy and three zip disks. The tools zip disk also still had the original content so I was able to experience the original zip drive setup experience on Windows 3.11 😉
One of the zip disks contained nothing but one Eagles album as 112kbps MP3 files without ID3 info, created in June 1997. The files are perfectly playing. I'm pretty sure that I also had my very first MP3 experiences in 1997.
btw: My eject button also broke into pieces, so I designed and printed a replacement. It can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5773627
