Yep, assuming your floppy drive is working, you've got it pretty good.  OS 10.6 and newer can't write to Mac floppy format, but you can still use Disk Utility to write images directly to them (or dd if you're into command line).

Ironically, it's probably easier just to use HFV Explorer for Windows to write to/from Mac floppies.  Any USB floppy drive should work fine for 1.4MB floppies.  HFVE can open Mac image files, so your process will be:

- Get image file with stuff you want (Google)

- Use HFVE to write it directly to 1.4MB floppy or open in HFVE and copy individual files to/from floppy
