Things improve mightily with a current version of MacOSX.
If you remember your Mac history, for many years you would buy software to read and write MS-DOS or other non-Apple formatted media. Today people expect to not have this issue but your time period is when it was not so.

I have a Freecom External Hard Drive 160GB. It is partitioned with one large NTFS partition and two smaller FAT32 partitions. I have two machines, a Windows one and a Mac. I'd essentially like to get all the data off those two machines onto the external, so I can access the data on both those computers, but, the Mac won't "see" the drive or any of its partitions. The Mac is an Indigo Clamshell iBook, with OS 9 at the moment - but OS X panther is on its way to me.
So my general question is, is the Mac not recognising the HD because of the OS, or because the Mac itself won't support the drive? Will Installing OS X panther fix this?
Thanks.
