    I require a large capacity HD (externally cased) for storage of audio
    and video (DV) files.

    Ideally the drive needs to be swapable between Mac & PC systems.

    The obvious selection seemed SCSI. However all my machines are
    already FireWire equipped and this seems a great high speed, ID less,
    hot swap solution for less than SCSI.

     From memory Mac's will mount PC SCSI disks (via PC Exchange) - does
    this include NTFS as well as FAT32 formatted drives? And what about
    mounting a cross-platform FireWire drive?

    TIA, Antony.
