It would appear that you will want an external storage device.
Zip Drives are no good for running programs off it. The Zip Disks are
supposed to be used as "floppies" (ie. not intended for serious use).
The disks can be chucked around like floppies without suffering any
damage.

I recommend an external Syjet drive if you demand speed and frequent
use. It has 10ms seek/access time. Can be used for recording/cutting
AV. Since the disks are hard disks, they cannot to be used as frisbees.

For purely archival purposes (not for frequent use), Magneto-Optical
drives are the supreme, most cost-effective choice. The disks have a
simulated 40-year life expectancy (may last for 100 years) and can be
chucked around without suffering any damage, plus they are not affected
by magnetic field(s) at normal temperatures.
