I highly doubt it would work with an eMac. Zip only ever made SCSI,

They actually made a SCSI/Parallel Zip that can be transparently used
on both interfaces. Also, even though they didn't make a Mac serial
Zip its entirely possible that internally the early USB ones might
have just had a converter and the driver essentially spoke to the
drive as serial. This was common when USB first came out.
But, I don't know if there's a solution to get SCSI to work with
FireWire or USB (I seem to remember that there was a SCSI-USB solution
in the early iMac days but I don't know how reliable it was...
besides, it'd probably be cheaper just to find yourself a used USB
Zip).
that's probably the best route.
