Get rid of 'em or reinstall Win98 on the old machine and network the two
machines together for the times you need those drives.
For $20 you can buy a USB key drive with 1500x the storage of a floppy drive or
160x the storage of the zip drive and is more reliable than either while being
way smaller and easier to transport.
If you really love zip disks you could get a USB zip drive, I bet they're cheap
on eBay. I've got one that I'm keeping for reasons I don't completely
understand.

Several
of you have suggested I turn the hard drive from my old Win 98 computer
into an external HD for the new Vista computer. Ya think I may be able
to do that with the old Zip and 3.5" floppy drives, also?
