I got this portable harddrive I use. It's the harddrive from one of my destroyed laptops. It's NTSC formatted. In a bizarre series of disasters, I lost both my laptops and my desktop PC and now just have this Mac. It's running Panther and it can read the drive and I can use everything on it, but I can't actually change, modify, or add to the drive. I'm something of a writer and this is sort of distressing cause at present, I have no means of getting the files from my Mac to it. I mean, there's means, but not day to day convenient means. I often use various computers depending on where i'm at, so it's nice just to have the travel drive. Is there any way around this problem or what? Is it just a NTSC-FAT problem? Also, is there a MAC word processor program that saves in the same format that a PC word program does? Cause i'm having a hrad time getting anything to open one way or the other unless it's a basic RTF file.
