I just DLd 6.13 (US English) to try out before buying. Happy I did!<G>
While it *seems* to work on the surface--I can copy files to and from it with Leopard, the same external drive (WD 500GB) is not usable for Time Machine (requires reformatting) and I'll bet it cannot be set as a system disc either. Using FW interface.
The NTFS for mac-ormatted drive is unusable with WinXP---delayed write errors all over the place using USB2 interface.
I'm going to continu fiddling with this but for now it does not look like I'll be springing loose any to buy...unless it can be made to work in the next 10 days.
