While Jon B himself hasn't publicly spoken about a Zip Drive release, several mastering engineers from the 90s have confirmed that Sony's Nashville division used Zip disks for internal reference copies. One engineer, who wished to remain anonymous, told a podcast: "We'd send the artist a Zip disk of the flat transfer. Those disks often got lost or given to friends. Those are the holy grails because there is zero EQ added for radio—just the raw tape."
Fans often seek "zip" files to find high-quality (FLAC/320kbps) rips of the original 1995 mastering.
