Hi Valerie, one solution may be to remove the hard drive from the broken computer and install it in an external firewire enclosure. These cost about $100. Your local techie shop can probably do this. Alternatively, email me off line and if you send the drive to me, I will do it for you. I dont know about the zip drive, maybe others can answer that one.
