No. I've bought Mac-format (HFS) floppies and reformatted them for use on DOS/Windows machines. Granted, I did that under OS/2. (Yes, I do use lots of operating systems, why do you ask?) So one *can* reformat a Zip disk. I suspect fdformat would work, but I've never had to do it under Linux so that's a complete guess. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
