I've come across an old 2.88 MB floppy drive, pulled from an OS/2 machine. Any chance I could get this to work with my beige G3 MT?

(No, it's not yet in my possession, or I'd try it. I'm not THAT dumb.)

Won't work. The beige G3 has no support for 2.88 MB floppy drives.

It might work in some Quadras; they had support for 2.88 MB floppy drives in ROM (but only had physical 1.44 MB floppy drives).
