Just a observation: the "Floppy driver" from the Darwin project kinda sucks. I tried it, and it takes 5 minutes just for the disk to mount. A lot, lot longer if you try to actually look through the files on the disk! I recommend if anyone needs to get files off of a floppy in OS X to boot OS 9 or your Classic partition and get them off that way instead. It's quicker!

I am surprised that you would need drivers for Os X. I just plugged in my VST Floppy drive, no drivers, and it showed up fine. The icon is pretty ugly and PC-like, but I was able to transfer the files just fine, not slow at all.
