Hi,
I just purchase my powerbook 12" 1.5 Ghz. I'm a Mac newbie..as I was always PC. I've tried to search the forum...but was unable to find my answer.
What is the difference between formating the harddrive to Mac OS extended, Mac OS case sensitive....etc? Any difference on performance.
I know formating without the OS9 is what I need. I so far format MSDOS...and have run into alot of problems....
Thanks in advance

Mac OS Extended is the normal file system for Macs. The case-sensitive version is the same thing, but case-sensitive (so "CoNFuSiNg" and "CoNfUSiNg" can both be filenames in the same folder). UFS is a Unix filesystem that's also case-sensitive. Its performance is somewhat worse. I can't imagine why you'd want to use it in this day and age.

PC Card is the only name for the slots. The PCMCIA is the organization that makes the PC Card standard.

That's right. From the FAQ at pcmcia.org:
What is the difference between "PC Card" and "PCMCIA"?
The term "PC Card" referes to the credit card-size peripherals that add memory, mass storage, and I/O capabilities to computers in a rugged, compact form factor.
The term "PCMCIA" (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) refers to the non-profit trade association and standards body that promotes PC Card and ExpressCard technology by defining technical standards and educating the market.
In the past, cards were known as "PCMCIA Cards", but the industry now refers to products based on the technology as "PC Cards," "PC Card Hosts" and "PC Card Software," and refers only to the association as PCMCIA.
