Select Apple m enu --> About this Macintosh (could be named About Finder
or some other wording, normally the topmost item), and you'll _know_.

To me it could sound like this one is having a problm since you say it
stopped working, and sometimes works again after switching on and off
again. Don't like the sound of that...

> external 800k drive

Did you try the floppies in both drives?

One other thing: 
You say you made copies in your G3's floppy drive. I'm just shooting in
the dark here: When - if ever - did Mac floppy drives stop making true
HFS 800 K disks? Did they ever? Was there ever a G3 model that only made
DOS-style 720K disks? If so, that could explain parts of this - maybe.
As I said - wild guess.
