Hi Kriston,

A bit late to the game, but there is a freeware application called ext2fsd that may get the job done.

Another possibility is to run Linux virtually under windows, and share the partition over the network.  This has the added advantage of making your Linux system available while Windows is running.

Hi Karl,

Thanks for that - yes, WINE is an interesting platform.  It allows you to run windows programs on the Mac, and perhaps on Linux.  Perhaps you know something I don't - always possible - about going the other direction.
