Long ago I recall Access PC. OS X has ALWAYS been able to read and write FAT32-formatted drives. However most Windows systems XP and newer use NTFS formatted drives OS X 10.3 and higher can read NTFS, but you need to hack things around to write to them. (using MacFUSE and NTFS3G) However with 10.2.8, you're ool, I think. I don't remember ever being able to get NTFS working on the Mac back then. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
