Well the good news is you might be psychic... :)

"Due to physical differences between Mac and PC floppy drives, 800K
"double density" Mac floppies can only be written by other vintage
Macs. This means that boot disks for a Mac 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plus,
pre-FDHD SE, or unupgraded Mac II cannot be made on a Mac OS X, Linux,
or Windows machine. (All other vintage Macs have a 1.4 MB "SuperDrive"
or FDHD [Floppy Disk, High Density] floppy drive, which is compatible
with modern computers.)"
