That's just what the Wintel folks are supposed to do, when they want get those old Mac OSes on a floppy. You easily find instructions to do it under Windows. I have done it before with RawWrite. I am just not sure how to do it in OS X. Floppy support is somewhat crippled under OS X.
You should be able to "dd" it to the raw floppy device, just like in any
other UNIX.
Yes, if you can find what device the floppy is listed as under '/dev/*' in the unix systemoly stuff (this is usually listed with the drive details in the OS X Disk Utility). It'll be something like /dev/fd0 or something. Dunno as I've not got a USB floppy myself.
Regardless, 'dd' will write raw images to any device in '/dev' that has the capacity to do so. If you are lost then try typing 'man dd' at the Terminal.
