I know bugger all about macs either :-P

But can you not do a format with the card plugged into your Mac? As you would a floppy?

i.e. On an XP PC just right click on the card icon on your desktop and select format. If there's an option for FAT under the types of format - pick that.

My XP PC doesn't have a FAT16 format option but it does have a FAT format option and that works on my 1200 Tower  :-)

You don't need a FAT format command on the Amiga - you just need to format it as FAT. On a PC would do you.

There are several files that need to be set up on your Amiga to be able to read the card though  :rtfm:

On the EAB board there's been a similar discussion - although not concerning Macs - but it may help you.

Have a look at this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=34351

Hope that helps  ;-)
