The only PCMCIA to USB adapters I can find are Cardbus, which is not compatible with Amiga PCMCIA.

The 'parallel' connector on the Zip250USBPCM drive connects to their PCMCIA adapter card. It might be SCSI protocol or it might be proprietary. The adapter card appears to be type II PCMCIA so it might work with the Amiga, but someone would have to write a driver for it (not easy and no guarantee that it can be done).

Zip drives are slower, lower capacity, and more importantly unreliable compared to other solutions such as Compact Flash and SD Card. You never know when it will crap out and destroy all your disks. I would not have one today even for the nostalgia - some things are best forgotten!
