Thanks for the clarification. The issue is transferring data to and from the PB without using a floppy disk. Presumably once I have formatted the flash disk, it can still be read by a Mac running OS X but not by Windows (or my Palm, for that matter)?
Yeah, but if all you're doing is using it as a sneakernet, leave it in DOS format, much more convenient.
The original thread here dealt with making a CF card a bootable device, for which you have to reformat it in HFS; as a data transfer device, just leave it in DOS format so it can be read everywhere.
