External HD for older non-Intel Mac

by Sep 17, 2011 2:00AM PDT

I have an older Mac that does not have an Intel processor that I would like an external HD to back up my files. These are basically desktop publishing/graphics files that will later be transferred to a Win 7 computer to be used with the PC Adobe CS for Windows. I am having trouble finding an external that can be used on an older Mac. Suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Gail
