Hello

Does anyone know if Redhat Linux 5.1 will recognize/utilize a Zip drive
(parallel connected)?

TIA

There is a very detailed set of HOWTO documents on using
a zip drive.  Look in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini then read the document
'ZIP-Install'

Good luck.

Yes, you need to add ppa module via kernelcfg

Yes, it will. If you recompile the kernel to include PPA as a low level
scsi driver then you can even attach scsi devices to the zip-drive. I've
got a zip-plus myself and it works just dandy.

See the quick start section of the howto.
