Anyt that is USB Mass Storage compliant should work with both. OSX has native support for FAT32 and Windows' Long FileNames. Silly Microsoft has still not seen fit to include built in support for any filesystems other than FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS. FAT12 is used on floppies, and since Windows 2000, on any storage media with a formatted size of less than 32 megabytes. From exactly 32meg to just below 64meg, the default filesystem for 2k and XP is FAT16. >From exactly 64meg on up, the default is FAT32. This only applies to removable storage media, disk or solid state. If you have a device that uses media smaller than 32meg and it will not work with FAT12, do not format the media using 2K or XP. It's difficult to get it back to FAT16, unless you have access to a 98/98SE/Me system and a device to read it that is accessable to the system as a standard drive type. ===== Say hello to Juror #49. Yep, I'm on jury duty until the end of March. Gotta call in each weekend. Fun. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
