Summary: Using on a new iMac, sort of...
Review: Good news...
It works, basically "plug & play". Cute small profile.Bad news...
Documentation is wrong and the provided software is less than useless. Under Mac OS9 the drive is recognized "as is" by the OS but the software they provide will hang your system. Works fine except the drive is not called "Smart Disk USB floppy drive" but it is recognized as some other manufacter's floppy drive.

Summary: Plug & Play on MacOS X
Review: I have used it on my PowerMac G4 running Jaguar OS X. It takes about 1 full minute to mount a floppy once the disk is inserted in the drive. After that, file transfers seem pretty quick (for a floppy, that is) and it works great. Classic Mac users (old-timers?) like me are used to a floppy drive that ejects the disc when it is dragged to the trash, but this one has no eject motor, so you'll need to "give it the finger" on the handy eject button to eject the disk. It has a sleek look and is nicely compact. It feels quite rugged, so it should handle roadtrips well with my iBook.

Summary: Exellent Floppy Drive for Laptop Users
Review: Its a execellent external USB floppy drive for users with laptop that don't have a internal floppy drive. Works like a charm, USB powered, and sports a very sleek design. Although it is a bit pricey for just a regular floppy drive.

Summary: trouble with an iMac, OS8.6
Review: This is not plug and play for an iMac, G3, running OS8.6. The main problem is that the documentation enclosed in the box and on the CD is misleading. It tells you to go to outdated web sites and download software that is probably on your machine anyway. It doesn't tell you to go to the SmartDisk website to download their latest driver. These drivers could have been included on their CD, but the CD is useless for Mac users. It took me two hours to solve the problem. My father, who is a novice user of this iMac, doesn't know what a driver is, and never would have been able to get this simple disk drive working. I'm sure there are tens of thousands of novice users of old iMacs who will have the same problem. So I give one star for their web site, which is well-organized, and one star for the hardware, which actually works after you spend hours downloading software.

Summary: OS X - Mounts w/o drivers, slow.
Review: Well, it is no speed demon but gets the job done. I plugged it into my Powerbook G3 (OS 10.2.4) and it took a while to mount. That's pretty much what I was looking for, I hate floppies, but my mom needs it to bring her virrii..ehhrr...documents when she uses the labs at the college she attends to.
