If I am not mistaken you can format it Fat 32.. but remember that you
will not be able to put files on it over 4GB (i think.. maybe a little
over 4GB).

Can macs read any linux filesystems like ext2/3/4? You can always
experiment by creating a small partition on the USB drive and formatting
it with different filesystems and then plugging it into the mac and
attempting to read/write to it.

Good luck!
