>> Can I read a Mac Photoshop TIFF file from a Mac-formatted floppy on my PC,
or would the Mac person have to save it out as a PC file/disk (A client did do
the second for me once… worked fine)?
If I render a .TIFF from 3DS to a PC formatted floppy, will a Mac read it?

Sorry for the slow response, I've been out of town.
A DOS machine cannot read a mac formatted floppy without extra software. I've
know people who use MacInDOS and another product whoes name I cannot remember.
A Mac comes with FileExchange software that will read and write to a DOS disk.
We use AccessPc so that we can directly mount a DOS disk on the Mac desktop.
There is no real difference between a Mac tiff and a PC tiff. The byte order
is reversed but most programs can detect and deal with the difference. 3DS and
both Mac and Win Photoshops do.
