It doesn't format differently, the drive is totally different its self.  It
is made to use sectors that IBM disk drives don't know how to use.  Because
of this, the 800k mac drives can't read PC disks, and PCs can't read Mac
(800k) disks.  The newer macintoshes have the same capibility, but they can
also read all PC disks, including 1.7MB.
