Ok, ignore my previous message - I've found Zip Tools 6.0 (which was just named Tools, for some reason) - but I can't for the life of me see an option to format as a PC cartridge. I only get the choice of Short or Long format. There doesn't seem to be any mention of choosing formats in the help, though it does mention that PC formats exist and can be read. Does it make a difference that we bought preformatted Mac cartridges?

In the Disk Tools folder, there's a manual. It appears to say a lot about changing format from DOS to Mac, but in the formatting options ilustration, it also seems to offer the choice of HFS+, HFS *and* DOS format. It also says that you can't do it from the Finder. As you can see, I've not done this myself, but it looks as though it should be possible. Tell us what you find... -- Peter

Moral: Don't bin the manual as soon as you think you've got the hang of something (I hate clutter on my hard disk) ...

Hmmm - 6.0 doesn't seem to offer this. Any chance of emailing me a copy of
6.2?

The manual specifically says that you can't do this via the Finder; it's possible that 6.0.2 has changed this, but if you have Zip tools anywhere, they will work. -- Peter

I'm as good as certain that I downloaded it from <http://www.iomega.com>
so it's probably best to get whatever the latest version is, straight
from there.
