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.
