Next message: DUSSAULT, YVES: "[WinMac] Transfering data on ATA drives"
No, use Ultra2 or Ultra3 (wide LVD) SCSI, because of the much faster data
transfer rates... Else you'll be twiddling your thumbs waiting for those huge
DV files to copy/move.
I *think* FAT32 file system is supported with File Exchange (formerly PC
Exchange). As for NTFS: Forget it. I tried to get Bryce Cogswell & Mark
Russinovich
<http://www.sysinternals.com> to write an NTFS driver for Mac a couple of
years ago, but no dice. By the way, these are the chaps who wrote NTFSDOS.
Cheers!
