I see many of you are using Windows. I was wondering about what to do if you have a new Mac. I'm assuming a CD or Zip drive would have to be HFS compatible in order for the old Mac to see it. I'm using OS X Lion right now and it's chucked out HFS support. I tried to use OSXFuse with HFS support but if I copy too much stuff to a (USB) Floppy I get a kernal panic. I'm not considering an Asante Mini scsi to ethernet device to get FTP access on the internet working. Either that or I'll need to try the PC options in a virtual machine. Any other ideas?

I'm in disbelief that I can write floppies for my 286 on my new Mac with ease (FAT) but can't do the same for one of Apple's own products.
