Floppy SHOULD be easy enough. Just copy your /dev/fd0 line in
/etc/fstab to another line and change it to /dev/fd1.
Paralell Port Zip+ will take some more work. Basically there's a
module for it (sorry, don't know the name) that you have to install
and put into fstab as well.
I don't know if paralell port scanners are supported yet. I've heard
of a util/driver called SANE, but I don't know much about it.
