I can't see why not. I've gotten floppies which were IBM formatted and was able to Mac format them easily with the "Erase Disk" function applied to the floppies in question. So I don't see why Drive Setup used to similarly format an IBM formatted HD should be any less effective. ~Yersinia. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
