Fellow shadow watchers
I recently put an IBM/MS DOS formatted Zip Disc into my Apple Zip Drive
(9600/350 with built-in drive) by mistake and was surprised to find that
it worked perfectly without any re-formatting. As I can bulk-buy these
discs for half the price of the Mac formatted item:-
(a) can IBM/MS DOS discs be re-formatted in the same way as floppies
using the built-in Mac formatter? When I tried it seemed to work but the
formatter still noted that it was an IBM/MS DOS format!
(b) am I taking a risk by storing my precious images in this way?
With apologies for the off-topic subject and thanks in advance for any
advice.
