PowerMac's just plain have problems with floppies. Last October I needed to
read all my Mac floppies in and make disk images. I set up a 68k based Mac
to do it, the speed difference is amazing. One would think the PowerMac
would always be faster than a 68k Mac, but when it comes to reading or
writing floppies you're best off using a 68k Mac if you've got any amount to
do!

Of course the reason I was making the disk images is so I could put them on
CD-R, as my G4/450 didn't come with a floppy.
