Nope. The Pismo VST floppy drive does not support 400K or 800K formats. Only 1.44MB. The Wallstreet was the last PB to support the Superdrive floppy disk. The first generation G3's were the last Macs to support the Superdrive at all.
The 5300 was a good machine for the Superdrive compatibility. Any Mac with a Superdrive is good for transferring files (under OS 9 or earlier), as long as you use Disk Copy to make images of them. You should never mount a 400K disk under OS 7.6 FInder or later. MFS write support was dropped then, and read only support was dropped by OS 8. Also, you will not be able to open MFS disk images under Snow Leopard. Therefore, if you want to be able to open disks and copy actual files you should be working with a Mac that supports 7.5.5 or earlier. Which pretty much excludes everything released from the 2400c forward.
