Everyone I've been talking to is confused over the nuances of 'MS-DOS file system' as Apple Disk Utility seems to call it.
When you delete all partitions in Disk Utility and then select the disk , you are given the option to Erase the disk with 'MS-DOS File System'. As we all know, there is no such thing as MS-DOS File System. (MS-DOS and/or Windows use one or more of these: FAT, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, FAT32X, NTFS). And so I have no clue what it's really doing. I would assume it's not NTFS since MacOSX is read-only with NTFS currently. Similarly I assume it's not FAT/FAT12/FAT16 since they can't handle this big of a disk. So is it FAT32? FAT32x?
Does anyone know what is really going on? I'm guessing FAT32x. However, I've recently had a Seagate external HDD formatted that way which (in Get Info) shows up as 'Macintosh PC Exchange (MS-DOS)' and works fine; yet on Linux & WindowsXP it wouldn't mount at all. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be possible to format one partition 'MS-DOS' and a separate partition 'HFS+' via Disk Utility.
Just trying to cut through the fog of naming conventions in hopes of defining the ultimate solution to using MacOSX to format a 250GB external HDD for use among all 3 OS's (Win/Linux/Mac).
Thanks!!

Microsoft Word 1.x (OS/2) The Microsoft Word word processor was first introduced for MS-DOS in 1983. Its design made use of a mouse and WYSIWYG graphics. Its crude WYSIWYG/mouse support was a direct response to the Apple Lisa/Mac, and VisiCorp Visi On.
- For MS-DOS (FAT) and ExFAT volumes, the maximum length for the volume name is 11 characters. Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose a file system format. Enter the size or drag the resize control to increase or decrease the size of the volume. Click Apply, click Partition, then click Continue.
- Parallels Desktop for Mac is a commercial application that supports effectively every version of Windows, as well as Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2 Warp, eComStation, Solaris, and MS-DOS 'in secure virtual machines running alongside Mac OS X' and provides 'near-native performance', rather than the full speed of a 'dual-boot' configuration.

- OS / 2 arose from a partnership between IBM and Microsoft to develop a new operating system for the PC platform, capable of succeeding in the MS-DOS (and early versions of Windows, which ran over it). Initially, the OS / 2 was developed to take advantage of features introduced by the 286 (new instructions, supporting 16 MB of memory, etc.).
