Mac formatted floppy?

By yutchadol Wed Jul 18, 2012 8:13 am
I saw some mac formatted floppies at Goodwill. Wanted to buy them but hesitated they might not work since I'm a Pc. Question is can those be formatted to Pc & MPC?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can use those and format in your PC or MPC.

Formatting erases the content and creates the file system on the disk so it will not matter what the original file system is.

Make sure they are high density (I haven't seen a low density disk in forever, but you never know with thrifting)

It's the same for Zip floppies too. I've got a few Mac labeled Zips that I used to use with my PC and 2KXL years ago.
