They are. Every Mac since the IIx|IIcx|SE/30 models can read and write 1,44
MB MFM floppies. The NetBSD floppy driver cannot, JFTR.

Macintosh System 7.5 comes with the "PC Exchange" control panel which
enables it to read and write 1440K and 720K MSDOS formatted floppies.

Alternatively, you could get a Nubus ethernet card for your DuoDock (it has
two Nubus slots, as well as room for an internal harddisk), or attach an
external cdrom drive.
