If they're the later models with the rectangular eject button in the normal
place (rather than earlier models with the parallelogram? (/___/) button)
you can just replace them with any old 720K drive.
Other than that, you can use external drives; there should be (somewhere on
the web) a diagram for making the FDD-to-ST cable. Connectors are
available. (Or you can buy a cable from BEST Elect. in San Jose(?) or
elsewhere.)
And while we're on the subject, has anyone figured out how to use a
