I've worked with both MediaMaster and Uniform, though not with a large
number of off-the-wall systems.  However, I have noticed that I usually
must format the transfer diskette with MM or Uniform before copying the
data onto the disk.  When formatted by the target machine, MM & Uniform
often can't read it.  When formatted with MM or Uniform, usually both
can read and write the diskette.

Hope it helps...
