FYI, when seen over a network, it doesn't matte whether the shared drive is HFS or HFS+. So System 7.x.x can see the shared drive no matter how it was formatted. Also, don't forget that the 500 series of PowerBooks have ethernet built in so you can network via LocalTalk or ethernet. However you will need an AAUI to RJ45 transceiver for the 500 series plus you will need to use a crossover cable. Of course the benefit of ethernet would be speed, allowing the quick transfer of large files, so I suppose LocalTalk will easily suffice in transferring just the jigsaw puzzle. -Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
