With the Apple High Speed Card I have had no problem doing a low level
format, take about 10 minutes. Much easier to just by PC formatted
disks and partition them with Advanced Disk Utilities. If you want to 
be able to use the disk on a Mac also then use Mac formatted disks and
select EJECT when the Mac driver partition tries to mount. 

Not being able to use the password protection feature means that if 
you have a Mac disk that some one has forgotten the password on it
is easy to just use the GS to get the files off of it and reformat it on
the Mac and then copy the files back on to it.
