I have a working Quadra 950 (33MHz 68040 !!!) equipped with the
standard internal floppy drive and with a SCSI cd burner I installed
in it. It runs OS 7.6.1 and is just the sort of thing you'll need.
Email me and I'll do it for you :-)
Are you sure you can run that old s/w on a G4?
Thank for the offer, but I have some older Macs at work that might be
able to handle the job. As for the old software: this is one more
reason that I like my old G4: I can still boot into OS 9 and run my
old software.

Larry,
Other than getting a USB floppy, you can make Disk Images
of the floppies from a computer with Disk Utility installed.
Burn the Disk Images on a CD and transfer them. Disk Images
are the equivalent of a physical volume such as hard drive,
floppy, etc. You just double click them on your desk top and
they act like a floppy.
