For fun, I'm trying to use an Apple PowerBook 5300c (Mac OS 7.5.2) to do some programming. I've found the software I want to use (thanks to some answers on SO) but I'm unfamiliar with these formats (I've always been a PC guy). I've searched for things like "Windows Mac write floppy", but I only really see pages about reading Mac format on PC (not exactly what I need).
My first thought is to buy a USB floppy disk drive and some floppies — is this what I need to buy? I have no idea what I'm doing really. Did PCs and Macs use the same floppies? Do I need write in Mac format? Should I use maybe dd or something like that to write .bin files? Maybe if the Mac can read PC format? I also see some .sit (Stuffit) files; will the Mac recognise these? How do I use a .hqx file? Some advice would be very handy.

You can accomplish this with specialty software such as MacDisk. The are many other programs that can accomplish this if you look around the internet.
