Swapping HDs/DOSs

Here's a beginners question. My friend runs a Toaster on a 2500. No PAR, no frame controller-in short, no LW animation. I was thinking of buying a 50mhz 1200 with a fast, separate SCSI drive and converting the LW 24- bit frames over to the AGA machine (using Rend24, Magic Latern, Brilliance, whce, whatever) and Playing HAM8 anims off the drive. The problem: Can I hook the 1200's DOS 3.0 formatted HD into the presumed SCSI port in back of the 2500 and have LW send the frames there or copy them over to it from the 2500's internal drive? Should I reformat the HD to WB 2.1, like what's running on the 2500? Should I format it like an IBM and (hope) thatt MultiDOS or some kind of CrossDOS will make use of it? Should I just forget it?!?!?! LS
