If these storage devices are confirmed working on other equipment then some additional points to consider are:

1: MPC3000 can not mount ( "make active" ) a storage device until said unit has been formatted by the MPC3000.

Have you tried formatting the connected ZIP disk with the MPC3000 ?

2: The termination fuse ( silkscreen ID F901 ) on your MPC3000 SCSI board may be blown.

This would need to be verified by further internal inspection.
