Comment: Use it with my Mac powerbook. My daughter's high school often requires work handed in on a floppy. (!). This does the trick. Just plugged it in and everything works without a hitch.

Summary: A cautionary note to Mac users runniing Mac OS 10.3.5
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Comment: This drive certainly looks good--very light-weight, plug-and-play, powered through the USB cord itself, and thin enough to stash in even an iBook sleeve case. And it's reasonably priced. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my two G4 computers, both running Mac OS 10.3.5. My computers recognize the drive as being on the USB circuit (via System Profile), but the drive just won't mount. No drive icon on the desktop, no joy. I've tested the device by connectiing it directly to a powered USB hub and then connected it directly to each computer: it simply will not mount. The drive's LED lights up and the diskette whirs, but the drive's desktop icon never appears. I may have a faulty drive OR the drive may be incompatible with the drivers of Mac OS 10.3.5. I'll update this later if I ever find out.
One problem for ALL Mac users with USB keyboards: the drive does not get enough juice when plugged into the keyboard USB port; too bad since that's the logical port to use. At least I got a pop-up window alert about that.
The device would be terrific accessory for an iBook or PowerBook. But not until Y.E. Data can get this sucker to mount.
