Actually later Macs sometimes have trouble with old disks. For instance, a
buddy of mine got an early Centris 660AV that came with an autoinject floppy.
It never did like disks he used with his IIgs and IIci. Eventually it quit
reading 800K disks entirely. That box has since found a new owner and he has
a powermac with the ever popular manual inject. He hasn't mentioned to me
whether his old disks have any problems in it or not.
