It has a fair chance but you don't supply enough detail here.
Why not ask the manufacturer or supplier or see if their web site can
help?

You can download drivers for your Zip drive from Iomega:
http://www.iomega.com/support/catalog/zip1a.html

Windows 2000 and later do not require drivers for Zip drives.  I
don't remember if Windows 98 does or not.

I've used one on both 95 and 98 with the same 95 installation floppy.

Visit the IOMEGA web site for the latest install file.

Uninstall previous attempts and clean the registry before
attempting another install.  Besides using Uninstall via
Win95 Control Panel, I had to use RegCleaner, RegEdit, and
Norton WinDoctor to remove the IOMEGA entries that prevented
a clean install.

On my Win95a PC, IOMEGA Zip 250MB Drive wants to have
exclusive use of the virtual device driver Navap.vxd, a
Norton AV (1998) file.  The helpdesk said it was impossible
for IOMEGA to resolve every confict with Norton AV.  So I
disable Norton AV  The following is what I have to do every
time I want to use the Zip drive.

To use the Zip drive:  

1) Shut down Norton AV.
2) Ctl-Alt-Del to get rest of Norton AV inactive.
3) Change the Norton directory names (Norton SystemWorks &
  Norton AntiVirus) & the virtual device driver, Navap.vxd
  (in Norton AntiVirus directory), to another name.
  Note:  Navdx.exe sometimes changes in Autoexec.bat.
4) Install the software for Iomega.
5) Select "Shut down later".  "Shut down now" does not give
  my PC a good install.
6) Shut PC off.  
7) Connect Iomega Zip drive cable using the printer port.
  Zip drive unit (light) must be on before boot.  
8) Boot PC.  Will get two error messages, hit enter.
  Expect message about finding the zip drive.

To re-active Norton antivirus:  
1) Rename the Norton directories and Navap.vxd back to
  their proper names.  
2) Run Norton WinDoctor to get the corrected names into the
  registry.  
3) Shut off PC, disconnect Zip drive cable.  
4) Boot into SafeMode.  Use F5 for this PC.  
5) Uninstall Iomega.
  Select the two IOMEGA names and Active Disk.
6) Run RegCleaner.  Delete IOMEGA.
7) Run RegEdit.  Delete IOMEGA, Zip 250.
8) Run Norton WinDoctor.  Fix registry inconsistencies.
9) Boot PC, now safe for the Internet.
