It oughta be easier to do that in Linux than in Windows, actually.  Just
make sure you've got parallel support in your kernel or a module.  Unless
you're running your own kernel, you've probably already got one of the
two.

This part's a bit tricker.  You'll need support for parallel-ide in your
kernel (or a module for it).  You should read the ZIP-howto for this one.
