Better yet get a small (cheap) CF card and CF to IDE converter and use that. Very reliable and can be put together with a GB of space for little more than a floppy drive. About $20 usually.

So the more important question to you was, can I trust a floppy formatted to more than the standard 1.44MB? I say yes. I have done it. I ran a firewall off one with Freesco for something like 2 years. If a floppy isn't going to work in this mode, you find out real quick when you try to format it and use rawwrite to put the .img file on it. I've had success with a ton of floppies, just not the ones with the cheapy plastic slider. Even some recycled AOL and Earthlink floppies made good Linux boot floppies.
The other questions I think have been answered.
