Floppy help

so i think ima go the recycle route with sampling...i have a 100 zip drive but no scsi for it. But what i want to know is should i format my floppies on my mpc first then put it in my pc...which i found doesnt work. So how do i go about getting my pc to read the floppy or would it be smarter to just take my chops from recycle to a blank cd...i only ask bout the floppies becasue thats all i have left.

Format on pc via fat, mpc and computer can read that floppy. Use 8 character filenames,
don't tell me you've never read that suggestion here before, I know you have. Try that, it will work unless you start
using a whole bunch of ii's again.
