This does not fit into the udev model. We can only support devices that have a sane sysfs kernel representation.
You may call MAKEDEV it with a dev.d/ script triggered for the fd* device.

Ok, so I have my script modified. How do I setup dev.d/ to handle this. Do I need to create a directory block, and place the .dev file into this directory or what do I need to do?

Your script in "block" needs to exit if isn't a floppy, that should work. I hope to be able to add the udev-rule based dev.d execution soon, then it would be easy to match against a specific device or specific device class.

Fedora does it that way:

/etc/dev.d/
...

  |-- fd0
  |   `-- 10-MAKEDEV.dev -> ../../udev/scripts/MAKEDEV.dev
  |-- fd1
  |   `-- 10-MAKEDEV.dev -> ../../udev/scripts/MAKEDEV.dev
  |-- fd2
  |   `-- 10-MAKEDEV.dev -> ../../udev/scripts/MAKEDEV.dev
  |-- fd3
  |   `-- 10-MAKEDEV.dev -> ../../udev/scripts/MAKEDEV.dev
