I still want to know exactly how you got it to format to Mac. Mine seems to be hung up in some state where I can no longer see anything on it in the PowerBook when it is in the CF PCMCIA holder, but I can "see" the CF card on my iMac when it is in a CFreader (I have a VST Tri-Media reader). A friend of mine, who has a Kodak digital camera, and also "see" the card in her camera, so it is still an MS-DOS card and the supposed reformatting did not happen. This has been going on ever since I tried to format it as a Mac disk in the cardcage in my 520. I cannot see anything I insert into the cardcage, so maybe something is wrong with the cardcage?
