Congrats on the new machine!
What version of Mac OS X is the new machine running? Somewhat recently (last few years) HFS Standard write support was removed from Mac OS X, making this a much less direct connection.
If your 1400 has the complete OS install, it should be able to format the SD card as FAT or PC format and both systems should be able to read and write to it with that format.

I havent done this for a while - I think if you formatted it in standard - OSX wont read it so format it in extended then it will (I've always formatted in extended).
Cheers

Mac OS/System Software 7 can not use Extended. If the 1400 is running Mac OS 8.0 or newer, it can read HFS+/Extended volumes.

Mac OS 8.0 or newer ... can read HFS+/Extended volumes. Actually, no. Mac OS 8.1 was the first to include HFS Extended support.
