Thanks for all your replies! I completely forgot about the ZIP drives :I

What kind of machine are you looking to exchange with? That might help narrow down the best solution.

I mainly use my MacBook Pro (Late 2011). Right now I'm considering buying an old PowerBook but that's also because I always wanted to have one.

800 KB floppies

Supported on Macs with built-in floppy drives not running OS X. I use a beige G3 with the latest revision of Mac OS 9 for this all the time, no problem. 400K disks can be an issue because of the file system (MFS vs. HFS) but if writing images using Disk Copy it's not an issue since the disk is never mounted by the newer OS.

So, specifically, a PDQ / Wallstreet / original PowerBook G3 running Mac OS 9 or earlier could still do the job? I just want to be 100% sure
