The ability to read NTFS is available in Tiger 10.4 too, and MacFuse
+ NTFS-3G will enable you to write to the drive as well, though I'm
not certain if MacFuse or NTFS-3G are PPC compatible.
I am using them on a 1.6 Ghz PPC G5 quite OK ... except beware
the CAVEAT shown below

Hi all
Does anyone know if there's a way of reading a friend's USB hard
drive - formatted windows NT filesystem - on either my G4 mirror
doors 10.3 or my G4 powerbook 10.4?
many thanks

If you google for " ntfs on Mac " you will get plenty of
information .
I do not know about 10.3 or 10.4
but on 10.5 there is incorporated into the OSX a driver that lets
you read NTFS
but you cannot write to it .
There are some 3rd party apps that will allow you to do that !
I am using " NTFS3G " which requires also " MacFuse " .
CAVEAT : You MUST shutdown and finish with the drive correctly
before disconnecting
OR
The drive will require a Windows utility repair to make it
readable again.
Transfer of data is not fast at only 10 to 12 gigs an hour .
