Is there, anywhere, something that will let me mount aN NT hard drive on my Mac G4 450 agp with OS 9.1? I've got to transfer about 19gigs from an NT hard drive to my 80gig firewire drives. We have a network with Maclan on the server, but that takes a LONG time to do and kills the networking speed. Any help out there? studiomusic@writeme.com Chris

Use your current network. We have this thing called 'night-time' (or any downtime) where no one really does anything. So you set the copy going, then you GO HOME. When you come back the next day.......Oh Sh*T, the files are copied over! Put it this way: How many hours are you going to spend SEARCHING for , GATHERING, then IMPLIMENTING what you need to do this copy faster? I rest my case. If you say something takes TOO long, then you have already decided that it is not worth doing. If you do it anyway, well...it doesn't take TOO long now does it?

Another solution is installing services for mac on your NT server. Through 'File Manager' (not through windows explorer !) you can make shares that can be mounted on a mac. Only one limitation: the share is limited to max 2GB, not a byte more !
Of course, copying over night is a nice solution. But if you're on an international network (WAN) than it is not even an option.
