The only problem I had was this: The Compact Flash card I had would not
format into the Mac HD Format. (It came as PC Formatted.) I could not
use Disk Utility in Mac OS 9 or 8 to fix this, having to instead use it
on a Wallstreet running OS X in order to get Disk Utility to reformat
the drive.
To format a flash card in Mac format under os 9 and lower, you need to boot without the PC compatibility extension.
Then the thing comes up as 'Unrecognized disk, do you want to format it?' and you can choose HFS as the format.
