I have considered a Zip drive, US$150 approx and US$12 per 100Mb Zip disk.
However I have zillions of 5.25" floppies full of data and I can access
those in either my 486DX B: floppy drive or my PC/XT floppy drive...and
I use that PC/XT as my standby if the 486DX crashes...which it can and
has done so once in February. I'm not certain if I could run the Zip
Disk with my old 1986 PC/XT.

DJGPP? What's that?  How do I manage to live without it?
How much memory does it gobble?  And how much diskspace?
