Parallel Zip drive on the Amiga 1200

Thanks to https://www.pcbway.com for generously supplying the PCBs used in this project. The Iomega Zip drive was released a year after Commodore went bust, and for a brief few years it was the best, cheapest way to access large amounts of removable storage. Despite the Amiga's parallel port being incompatible with the drive, we're gonna hook one up and get it working!
