As a previous poster already commented, USB floppy drives are the way to go.
And to carry on, As the Apple world frequently chooses to disregard or forget
its glorious past, here is the WayBack Machine archive of the USB floppy drive
raid system on a Bondi Blue iMac.

Hello,
I have an old Power Mac G4 Digital Audio, and I would like to add on a
floppy drive to read floppy disks I may find floating around. So I
purchased a floppy drive on eBay, but I realized that it has a normal
floppy drive connector. Is there any way I could connect this drive to my
G4 without buying a new drive or making this external? I did not get this
Mac with a Zip drive, so I do not have anything to replace in the 3.5" bay.
Note that I have a budget of $25 on this floppy drive project.
Also, if I can get this working, is there anywhere I could get a Zip drive
bezel? I would not like to have to a) drill into my blank bezel, or b) have
no bezel on.
Thanks,
Jack
