External HD Format for Win AND Mac?

Heya,

My setup is as follows:
1. iMac desktop for full recording purposes with OSX 10.5.5 with MBox 2 Pro
2. Windows XP SP2 laptop for soft synth recording with MBox Micro

How do I format an external hard drive so that I can swap between the two machines? I remember a few years back that one couldn't write to the other and vice versa.

Please advise. I think my current external is Mac OS formatted journaled.
