I have recently purchased an STe and I was wondering whether
there was any truth in the fact that floppy disks formatted
on an IBM PC are read/writeable by the ST and visa versa.

If so, is there anything special which needs to be done - eg. does
one need to format in a special way on the PC? 

Any information would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance... 

Ivan
