NTFS and FAT32 compatibility....
You then store them on an external HD, maybe via USB or Firewire. Capacity is large on that external drive, so you accumluate multiple copies over time, maybe delete older versions as well. But the cool part is, you have a MUCH greater likelihood of compatibility w/ the bootable floppy/CD restore process.

PC compatibility A1000/A1200?? help!
Tvisto is an external HD box that works as a USB drive on the PC or as a standalone multimedia jukebox. The main drawback is no network connection (which some versions of the Mediagate have).

compatibility with CDR/CDRW
You will need...a SCSI cable, and I've yet to see an external HD sell without one. All of the Macs you listed have built-in SCSI ports; if you want to upgrade PC compatability, period. If once-in-awhile PC emulation is what you need (on top of everything else), then DEFINATELY buy a PowerPC with SoftWindows 2.0

Size restrictions on hard drives
Since your hard drive is working fine on another computer, I'd be inclined to suspect power as the problem. If the enclosure is powered by USB (doesn't sound like it), it must not be getting sufficient current to spin up the hard drive, or something like that. A USB 1.1 compatibility issue seems less likely if the

Apparently you can do serious damage to your hard drive and lose everything. I dump my samples to an external HD then in a separte operation, from the external HD to my k2000.
