I have an external 360GB usb2 drive which is formatted NTFS and I can
read and write to it in both Leopard and Tiger by using a small utility
called Paragon NTFS if I remember correctly - I think there is also another
utility which does the same though I cannot remember the name of it. Prior
to using Paragon I could only read the drive - so I guess vanilla will be
read only...
