Parallel Port to USB Cord Recommendations Needed (for External Zip Drive Access)

[Ro_Laren]

I have some old 250 MB Iomega zip disks that I want to access. While I have a zip drive, it has a parallel port on it and my computer doesn't have anywhere to hook up a parallel port to it. My external zip drive is an Iomega Zip 250 Model Number Z250P. Can anyone recommend how I might access this zip drive on my computer? Can you recommend any specific parallel port to USB cords (assuming those will work)? I saw some on the internet, but don't know if any of them will work (see here). Below are some pictures of my external zip drive:

Everything I read says to throw out the parallel version because it won't work with a current OS. Get a used USB drive off E-Bay -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Iomega-ZIP-250-External-USB-Bus-Powered-ZIP-Drive-/391565323262?hash=item5b2b1cabfe:g:Ze4AAOSw65FXuKgJ
