Solution
The formula used for calculating the capacity for the MO disk
packaging is 1KB=1,000 bytes, but on the computer it is
calculated at 1KB=1,024 bytes. Also, when you format a disk,
some disk space is used to record disk information. For these
reasons, the disk capacity displayed after formatting is lower.
(For example, the formatted capacity of a 640MB MO disk may
be around 600MB.)
The Windows-formatted MO disk capacities that are compatible
with Mac OS are 128MB to 540MB. MO disks of 640MB and
larger are not compatible with Mac OS.
Solution
Move the write protection tab on the under side of the MO disk
to the write position. (see page 32)
FDISK is not compatible with 1.3GB/640MB (2KB/Sector) MO
disks.
Drive Converter (FAT32) does not support MO disks.
