You will probably find that the computer slows down when accessing the
drive, and that can get a bit annoying.

That will work, but I have a patch (on http://www.cyberelk.demon.co.uk/)
that will allow you to compile both ppa (for the Zip) and lp into the
kernel at the same time. It's against 2.1.15, but should work for many of
the newer kernels (2.1.x, maybe 2.0.x).
