if your talking about 1.72meg disk... FreeBSD has support them since at least
1.1.5.1... (I know, I installed it off 1.72meg dos formated floppies :) )...

you can mount floppies with the msdosfs...  using the appropriate
/dev/fdX.size device...  I don't do much with mac disks... but there is a
port of hfs in ports/emulators that is suppose to be able to read mac
disks (hard disks, floppies, and cdroms)... but I've never used it was I
don't work with macs...

hope this helps.. ttyl..
