It is my understanding that VST USB Floppy drives do work OK, my course of action would be to move the data to CD or Zip now before you sell the Quadra and then not have to worry about the floppy drive. But regardless, keep in mind that after you install OS X you can still boot into OS 9 and access the drive there no matter if OS X supports it or not so you would not be stuck regardless.
