Maybe this has been answered before, but is it possible to use a USB floppy drive connected to a G3 iMac to create 800K disks for use on older Macs? I'm going to guess no since it doesn't have the variable motor, but I wasn't sure if software could overcome that. By create disks I mean use things like DiskDup to turn image files into bootable floppy disks.

Clearly no, the USB floppy drives around will not be able to cope with that.
better found a powerbook for cheap to do that.

Oh I have a Beige G3 Tower I use for that. I was just hoping I could put it away and use the iMac, but I guess not.
