Yes, OS/2 can read DOS formatted floppies.  The OS/2 floppy disk file system
is identical to DOS's; both use FAT.  Up through version 1.1, the hard disks
also used FAT, but starting with version 1.2, the new High Performance File
System became available (while still allowing FAT partitions to coexist, if
desired).
