My Mac Pro should be coming in today or tomorrow, but I have a few questions for any Mac users out there: - If I connect a standard EIDE (i.e., non-SATA) on the optical drive’s IDE bus, will OS X properly recognize and mount the hard drive, or is that IDE channel limited to optical drives? And is it by chance hot-swappable? - I have a 17” VGA display I’d like to hook up as my secondary monitor. What is my cheapest option for connecting it to the Mac’s DVI output? - How can I successfully migrate from Thunderbird on Windows to Mail on OS X, preferably without losing email archives? - Is it easier to share a Mac’s drive to access from a PC, or vis versa? I have a lot of stuff to transfer, and a longer-term need to share between machines.
