I did NOT use it, and did not need a floppy in X enough to suffer much pain. I was going to try it on a beige G3 with Jag on it. But I have an old 7300 with 9.1 that I use as a print server for a networked Epson 3000, and I can use the floppy on it. I use floppies so little (I think it has been over a year) I sold my USB floppy almost two years ago.
I would try it if I needed it. You can always dump it if it is a big pain. And if you use floppies a lot and the hack is bad, then you can buy a USB floppy. I have seen the Floppy drives as low as $30 several times. I have two $10 Comp USA NO-brand 2 port USB PCI cards that have been working great for years. They didn't even say they would work in a Mac; For $10 I gave it a try and it worked. I bought a second after that.

Oh, was hoping they'd fixed it.
