It all really does depend on the situation, for sure. I got my 128k off of a friend of mine who didn't care what machine he had as long as it still ran his old software. So I swapped him an old Plus I had for his 128k. Made both of us happy, even though it was probably a better trade for me ;).

If you had the right equipment, you could probably pull it off. The problem is, no USB floppy drives that I have seen can read 800ks, just 1.4s. So once you go from the original iMac up, I think there is no 800k capability as far as hardware goes (no USB 800k drives, and no floppy ports and/or
