Wait.. I could use Mac floppies in windows since, 95, I think? Maybe even back in Win3.1 days, IIRC (I seem to recall seeing the ". Resource Fork" folder back then). But my memory is fuzzy.
I think you had to reformat to make them Bootable though?
Not in the 3.1 or 95 days if I recall correctly. That wasn't fully unlocked until windows 98.
Around 2002-3 Mac dropped support for floppies even on machines with a floppy drive installed.
Which led to some pretty fun times when I needed to transfer files from a non-networked stand alone apple machine that my idiot coworker had upgraded the OS on without checking the specs.
