I'd take the advice of an earlier poster and use CDs for backups if you can. Used Zip Drives are available locally for under $ 50 but, of course they are outboard ones that plug into the parallel port with a pass-through plug, so you don't lose the use of your parallel port. With this in mind, perhaps you can borrow an external Zip Drive, archive your Zip Discs onto CDs, and then return the drive.
