I was told that that this drive would be

Specifically, I want to be sure whether I am experimenting, flrting with
disaster or wasting my time.
My semi educated guess is that you are wasting your time with this drive. If it is compatible with everything except a compaq, that means it is a pc drive and will not work in a Mac.
Macs and pcs are different in how they write info on the floppy. That is why you need software to read the other sides floppy in your machine.
