Comment: hey! I have come to the 'dark' side from many
years working with (and building)
pc's...Can I say PC here?!?! I have been
with my first g4 533mhz Power Mac for err
8 hours now and I have some problems.. Can I access fat32 drives in my mac? Coz
I've got loads of mp3 and would like to
listen to them...... I am on a home network with 5 'PCs' (they
havent seen the light) how can I share
files with them? erm guess thats all for now....oh one

Reply: (edit)1) "Sometimes my view like wraps round
the screen":
Go To: Apple Menu/Control
Panels/Monitors&Sound. Change your
screen resolution to a higher number and
see which one works with your monitor. 2) Fat32: Not sure, but I really don't think
so. I would say NO. If the PC that the drive
is in has a CDR or ZIP you could write
them to the removable disk and then
mount that on your G4. OR: 3) Home network: MANY former posts
address this issue. Find them. Read
them. Then when you are networked you
can transfer your mp3's via ethernet. 3)

Reply: (edit)cheers I'll check the posts on networking, I've actually put the fat32 drive in the mac
(I have a few drives full o stuff from the old
PC) I kinda expected it to read the drive
coz I've used loadsa linux and that has no
probs..... But if i can connect over network then I
can upload then reformat the download i
suppose. I have to say that it will take some getting
used to working on a Mac, I mean I've
used 99% windows (got bored inthe end)
and about 1% linux - I'm no 'geek' tho! Thanks for your help, appriciated as
always tom

Reply: (edit)PC Exchange 2.2, which is bundled with Mac OS 8.1, can recognizeFAT32-formatted disks, but you must be running Mac OS 8.1 to use it- to share files w/pc's --check out these software programs: Dave, Timbuktu, PCMaclan
