Yes. If the drive is formatted as FAT32. BTW, the Mac can format the external
drive as FAT32 or you can do it on a PC.
Macs typically use HFS or HFS+ format, which cannot be read natively by Windows.
MacOpener gives the PC the ability to read/write those native Mac formats.
Hope this helps!

Yes, thanks, that helps a lot -- I'll probably just bring a drive in
that case (one more layer of backup anyway)...
