You have two hard drives, right? So all four devices are in use.
Option 1: Odds are that your dvd+r drive can also write CDs, so maybe you
don't need the cd+r drive.
Option 2: You can get add-on drive controller cards. These are usually
sold as a way to add higher UDMA performance or SATA capability to an
existing system, but they don't stop you continuing to use the motherboard
ports as well.
Option 3: I recall internal ZIP drives coming in IDE and SCSI versions, and
external in SCSI and parallel port versions; I think they later came out
with a USB external as well.
Option 4: Put the Zip drive in an old PC (maybe pick one up at a garage
sale) and network it to your main machine.
