Hi Lou,

OSX Diskutil calls a command line utility program called newfs_msdos.  
According to the newfs_msdos manual page the utility can create  
FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 files systems.

I couldn't find any documentation of what format is used so I made up  
disk images of various sizes and checked the diskutil logs to see  
what commands were being called to format to MSDOS...
