I tried to post this info last week, but ran into trouble locally. Here's the second attempt.

Try calling the Zenith Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-227-3360. They can probably tell you whether Zenith itself still sells this stuff. Or call the Zenith Direct sales people at 1-800-582-0524. Note that the external floppy drive for the Minisport is the same as the drive for the Minisport HD. For a while, C.O.M.B. (a big liquidator in Minneapolis) was selling them off, but I haven't seen them listing it for a while. I don't have their phone number, but they are a big outfit. Since my original attempt to post this answer, I have heard back that Zenith is selling the external floppy drive for $299, and that there are companies selling the floppy disks for $40 for 10! Yikes! If anyone has success at lower prices, please post the info. Thanks.
