Need 100/250 MB External Zip Drive for Dell PIV WindowsXP Pro 2002 Version 10?

Question

My son gave me a Dell PIV computer with WindowsXP and MS Office XP Pro 2002 Version 10 software with CD/DVD RW drives and a 2.0 USB Port. All of my data is on 100 MB Zip Disks and 1.44 MB floppy disks.. I need a 100/250 MB External Zip Drive that I can use to transfer my data to the Dell PV via that computer's 2.0 USB Port so that I can burn it to CDs and DVDs..I have looked at all the local stores and found nothing I can use. Would appreciate assistance.
