I used an noname USB floppy disk to read HD floppies. I believe they are quite standard stuff but I guess the 400K and 800K DD floppies are different story. Both Linux and current Mac OS X can read HFS formatted floppies and CDs nice and dandy. Of course using some version of Mac OS is better than using Linux as it handle's HFS resource forks without problems and you get the file associations based on forks. With Linux you need to figure out file types and then add some file type endings. This is fine for cross platform stuff like images and text documents but Mac only stuff like Hypercard files is hard as then you probably need to add missing resource type data with ResEdit with old or emulated Mac. There might be a way to to map file endings to resource types with Mac's File Exchange or so but it was so long ago I'm not sure if I remember the Control Panel's name used for this correctly.
