I used this software in trial version to hook my Mac HFS+ FireWire800 drive to my Dell work laptop so I could transfer my music library. I had to use a FW800 to FW400 cable with a 6 to 4 pin adapter as Dell hasn't really embraced FireWire yet :) I wanted to say in my review that everything worked perfectly. Detractors for this software are 1) Price, and 2) Pop-up Nags. I haven't tried to uninstall it yet, so maybe that's hard too. If it was $15 I would buy a copy, but I think I'll figure something else out at the price they're asking. Software like this on the Mac is usually Shareware.
