The boot floppy does not support parallel Zip drives.

Some thoughts:

1.  Take the home machine to work. :)
2.  If the home machine has a DOS partition, you can download the files to
    there; see the LAYOUT.TXT and INSTALL.TXT files for info on how to
    layout the files on the DOS partition.
3.  Download the files via modem (slow).
