At the moment I am copying some files from my Apple PowerBook G4 to the
3.5" floppy media. I use an external USB floppy drive (it is labelled
as the "SONY" but it identifies as something strange; it work very well
anyway). The OS X shows nice diskette icon for this device (the IRIX
icon is better, though).
Then I will transport the floppy media some to a remote place to read
the files on a SGI workstation.
