Mary, My PowerBook has system 10.3.6.
When I plug in the VST, it is recognized and I can up/download files. But if I look through the finder menus there isn't anything that indicates I can erase or format the floppy. The VST is a Model FDUSB-M. I have OS 9 installed. I can run IE and a couple of other programs that are OS 9. My only concern about loading the VST software is possible interaction with OS 10. I guess I could just try it and see what happens but I'd hoped to find someone who has a similar setup.
