Hard to say just on site alone... I have a VST 3.5-inch USB drive. It
handles HFS and FAT under Mac OS 9.x on a Power Mac 8600 (1.4.1 USB drivers,
Belkin USB PCI card). When I stuck a 800KB ProDOS formatted disk into it
(with the ProDOS file extension installed), it just wanted to format it in
FAT 720KB (it didn't even list HFS format, weird). The internal 3.5-inch
drive on the 8600, using the exact same disk, works great all formats
including ProDOS. So at least the VST line more likely won't handle ProDOS
formatted disks, and may even have compatibility problems with other
formats/operating systems.
