Compatible with MAC? Is this floppy drive compatible with MAC?

I just received mine in the mail today and it appears that it is not Mac compatible. I have a MacBook Pro, not even one year old. The floppy is from an old Mac Performa. Still looking for something that will work.

It will work on a mac computer. Check the file system when you get it. If it is NTFS, yes you will have to reformat. If it is fat32 you can use it in the mac straight away. Either way, I would recommend you reformat it to exfat because fat32 has a much smaller file size limitation.

I think it will only read PC formatted disk. The PC and MAC file formats were very different years ago when floppy disc were popular.

Yes, the drive is compatible with a Mac, you'd just have to reformat the drive for the Mac file system, not a big deal to do though.

I have not seen any place that says this is MAC compatible nor does Genius' website (http://www.geniusnet.com) list a compatible driver for this unit.

No, this is only for reading Zip Disks. You need to get a drive made to read the 3.5" disks. They do exist. I have a LaCie Floppy Disk Drive which connects with USB. It is Plug and Play. It is compatible with PCs going back as far as Windows 98 and up to XP, but probably also 7. Also Macs from 8.6 to 10.1 and above. Hope this info helps. Here is a link for one: http://www.amazon.com/LaCie-706018-Floppy-Disk-Drive/dp/B00006B938/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

Yes it is compatible with Windows 8Install the pre-loaded NTFS driver for Mac and use the drive interchangeably between PC and Mac computers without reformatting.

The drive works on my Mac 10.10.1 without problem. I have yet to try uploading iomega files. Iomega likely will offer assistance if you have any problem with the upload. Suggest asking them.

Yes it is entirely compatible with Macs. I am going to assume you are thinking in the way of auto mount on boot or something like this in which case the best way to do this is to build a simple automator apple script using the ip address or the NAS and making the automator script open on boot.

Yes. If you format the drive to NTFS, the PC will be able to write and read the drive, and the Mac will be able to read it (but not write to it). Your best bet, if you want to be able to read and write on both PC and Mac, format the drive in exFAT (NOT FAT32, since this is an outdated file type).

Can't help with any specific advice as I am using my drive with a Mac, but I can't see why there would be a problem. If you received a drive pre-formatted for a Macintosh, then doubtless, you need to use a Windows program to reformat it. Good Luck!

Most of the complaints ab this product deal with Mac compatibility. This product is designed for PC drives, so I would definitely contact the manufacturer directly

It should be, if you format it for a Mac using disk utility (HFS Journaled) it should work fine.

I don't have a MAC, but to my knowledge this is Sata and they all provide info via the Sata cables.. othern than that this drive is barebones.

I would guess yes it does, I know it works with embroidery machines. Check out your current drive if it's standard power plug and data cable for floppy, this should work. Te biggest problem is formatting your thumb drive properly, I have some links to the software if you need it.
