As does anything else.  Foreign File Access, ISO 9660 File Access, and
High Sierra File Access are device independent.  You could build an ISO
9660 conforming floppy disk, and it would mount.

The only question a consumer should have is, "Are these pieces of
software bundled with my drive?"  Any manufacturer should license this
software from Apple; it only cost on the order of $50 per year TOTAL to
redistribute it.
