There you go!
That would probably be better than hacking a Zip drive in; not only is it (potentially) less destructive, but flash media/SSDs are the wave of the future, and they will surely be around in some form for many years.
Zip, on the other hand, was wonderful for its time (and it's still a somewhat viable medium), but, like floppies, they'll succumb to old age eventually, and they will be equally as unreliable and equally as useless as a result. They're already border-line as it is (click-of-death).
And I'm by no means defending floppies as a safe and reliable technology. They're not. But perhaps Zips aren't either?
Time will tell.
