I have the Zip drive in hand, but recovery will still require a power  
supply, a Mac with a SCSI port, a 25/25-pin SCSI cable (or two 25/50- 
pin cables and an intermediary device), ADB keyboard and mouse, and a  
DB15-cabled monitor.

I have all of these things.  They're packed into a 5x8 storage unit,  
but I have access to it today.  Please let me know if Noisebridge has  
any of these already.

Oh, and we'll need some kind of file transfer software.  A Basilisk  
II or SheepShaver VM should be able to connect to File Sharing on a  
System 7 machine.  Another option is netatalk.  Though the Mac should  
already have a Web browser, which means I can download an HTTP server.
