The 7200 and the 8500 came with the cheaper 3.5" drives that have 
problems with writing disks for the Apple II, but the Quadra 700 should 
have no problems...providing that there's nothing wrong with the floppy 
drive.  It should be of the auto-inject variety and be the same 
mechanism that's in the 1.44MB SuperDrive.  I have often used a Quadra 
650, which came after the Q700, to write disks for my GS or IIc+.
