A floppy presents a block device, so you can use any filesystem on top
of it.  You may find that the main reason for using those specific
filesystems instead of ext2, that they are journalled, may not be
possible due to the default/minimum active journal size being measured
in the megabytes.

Also, you may experience ease-of-user / interoperability issues when
inserting the disk into even one machine, let alone other boxes.

I'd stick with FAT1[26]. Or throw the floppy drive away :-)
