Debauch is right. You'll get more life out of floppies than zips. If your floppy drive is dead, you can cop one on ebay for $5. When you need larger capacity storage, you'll find MO drives on ebay for $30.

Find yourself an external SCSI enclosure for cheap (search ebay for old external SCSI CD rom drives), a SCSI cable, and some 128mb or 230mb MO disks, and you're good to go.
