Andrey, As far as I know, there's nothing out on the market yet that will allow you to mount a Mac-formatted hard drive on your PC. Programs like Mac Access or Conversions Plus will allow you to access Mac floppies, but for lots of Targas I realize that just doesn't cut it. In general, I think Macs are more capable at this sort of thing, perhaps because they have to be (due to their much smaller market share). Other options are Syquest or magneto-optical, Ethernet, or you might want to look into the new ZIP drive which has just come out. It's cheap, and as far as I understand it was built to be cross-platform compatible. 100 meg cartridges are now available and larger ones will be around soon. The drive's around $200, a 100meg cartridge around $20. Not sure how they rate as far as performance yet, though. Good luck. Let me know how things turn out. Alan
