You can easily exceed a 1.44 MB floppy capacity with a 3D program. Then add to that the time necessary to transfer it either in pieces via floppy or RS232(HA).
You may want to consider a newer hard drive. This one is very old. Even a new hard drive can be FDISKed to the 528MB. Better yet as an investment in piece of mind try a DOM, solid state hard drive AKA a Disk On a Module. It plugs into your IDE port just works just like a hard drive. No moving parts to be affected by vibration.
