Any PC store, ask for internal 100/250 zip drive
and one little jumper to go in the back.

There's the official Akai one which costs an arm and a leg, or you can follow the tutorial on this site and save yourself $100. Stick with any IDE zip 100MB drive and you should be fine.

iomega, IDE. there isnt really a kit, you just need a cable. make sure it is the right kind, the pins have to match up. one end is missing a pin, i think the one on the zip, while the other end has all the pins. you'll see when you crack it open. yeah the ide cable costs more than the drive. then follow tutors instructions to the T and you should be straight. make sure to get the master and slave settings correct.
peace
