Sansa e200 and Macs

[niederschlager]

Can I use an e200 with a Mac (I know, probably on MSC mode)? I'm thinking about using a grant to help me get a MacBook for college, and I'm wondering about how I'll migrate to OS X if I couldn't dual-boot with XP.

I gave my son a Sansa e260 for Christmas!
On first attempt it showed in his PB12" T4.
On second attempt it did not show on the Mac, but worked well on the XP.
His mem-stick did not show after having tried the Sansa first.
Looks like there is a problem with the Mac, since it still works OK with the XP.

After several attempts (closing down the Mac, keeping it off for 5 mins without powercord attached, the mem-stick worked again. But not the E260.
Connected the E260 to the XP and removed .DS_store, and connected to Mac at first attempt (luck?), but on second attempt failed again.

If I can not solve this problem, what shall I buy him??
