I remember being told on the lamented MACSW/HW that OSX now has its own proprietary file system. It's nether EXT2 nor 3, and not Reiser either. It's not HPFS any more. I'd like to have a clutch of the now-ubiquitous external FW/USB2 hard disk cases to exchange data among many Macs and PCs. Questions:
Macs read/write only FAT32 on the PC side, still?
Do those hammer utilities still exist? Can they init a FAT32 partition on a FW external?
Is there anything on the Mac side that can read NTFS? FAT32 is sort of a pig over 32MB, and really porcine over 80.
Can a Jaguar or Tiger machine still read/write an OS8/9 HPFS external?
Is Pierre Duhem still around?
Do any of you pub types do this a lot? Reliable?
