At some point in the future, Apple will create machines which do not support 800K GCR-formatted floppies. You should not depend upon specific hardware features such as 800K GCR formatting in order to uniquely identify a Mac OS computer.

For getting the MAC-address on Mac OS X, it's better to use the SystemConfiguration API or the BSD-API (ioctl).
