Hello @mattdy4, same problem as yours and I solved with... two floppies  ;-) ! First I've prepared a boot floppy (System 7.5.x) with RAMDisk+; then I've prepared another floppy containing only Lido. RAMDisk+ has a specific option to "pivot" between real floppy and ram disk volume as the...

Sad about your little accident... anyway, the project is really astonishing and perfectly done!!! 

For the hardware part, any usual USB 1.44 MB floppy drive from Amazon should be okay (in my personal experience it has worked). For the software part, some distinction has to be done: every Mac OS X < 10.6 is able to format/read/write HFS volumes, so your G4 should be okay! More modern OS...
