I have an older Sony Mavica camera that uses 3.5" DOS formatted floppies. Yesterday I took some pictures using a disk I had reformatted from Mac to DOS using the disk utility in OSX 10.3. The disk mounts but when I tried to open the pictures in Preview I get an error message indicating that the format wasn't supported. Tried using GraphicConverter with the same result. I tried a another disk (also reformatted) with the same result. Previously recorded disks open OK. I finally went out and bought a box of new DOS formatted disks and they work ok.
Is there some difference in the ay the Mac Disk Utility formats disks? I have couple of hundred Mac formatted disks (new) around that I had hoped to use up for photos.
