You could open up the computer and switch the connectors on
the two floppy drives.

Have you got DOS on the C: drive?  If so, you could use
the DOS version of BasicLinux.  If you need to use floppies
to get the zip file into the computer, you can split it into 
floppy-size pieces, copy them into C:\BASLIN, and reassemble 
them.

Or you could get the file into the computer by using a serial 
null-modem (laplink) cable and the DOS INTERLNK/INTERSVR utility.
Sindi can give you instructions for making a suitable cable out
of two broken mice.
