the 1946 example.
A guy named Nunnukhoven was marketing the kits in the mid 70s in the
US. He drove around in a Dodge pickup with the generator in the

Easy peasy, a Mac will read a Windows drive (but not the other way around at
least without additional software) so theres nothing to worry about. USB2 is
the easier interface although not as fast as firewire. The nice thing about USB
is you can have it power the drive...

Newegg had a 1 or 1.5Tb drive with an external enclosure thrown in the

I'm not sure about swapping between the two unless you set it up as some
sort of network drive.

Get a run of the mill USB external HDD. Format it as FAT32.
(Macs don't usually like NTFS, PCs don't usually like HFS)
Be aware that FAT32 may require partitioning the drive into multiple chunks,
but I have a 500GB as FAT32. FAT32 also cannot have any single file that is
larger than about 4GB.
Iirc the network control panel has some of the ping/traceroute (not tracert!)
functionality, and other bits may be in rhe applications/utilities folder.

It's English. You rarely use Delete in a non-computer sentence,
after all... Delete had a rather specific meaning on the early

What the heck is tracert anyway? Traceroute is the original
Unix utility, from the original implementation of IP.
Oh wait, too many characters for DOS!
I miss the ping and tracert function I could use in the Winders CMD
command line but that is about all, and I only need them when the
internet is down.
Mac OSX has both CLI and GUI tools for this. Your choice.
