Are you following the directions properly from Apple? Are you wanting to move files from the Pismo to the Qs? The order should be QS on. Shut down PB. Connect firewire cable. Start the PB while holding down the 'T' key. The PB should appear as a drive to the QS. Then you could drag any files from the PB to the QS.
Do you have a non US keylayout? Any key modifiers? Is the keyboard on the Qs on a hub? Are the Firewire ports on both machines good? Is the cable good? I've only done this once and it worked for me, so I'm throwing out ideas. .nick On Tue, 24 May 2005, Brent Baeslack wrote: > I'm hoping that the combined knowledge of the list can end my firewire > torture. > I should be able to connect my PISMO 400 mhz 768 MB OS 10.3 in > firewire target disk (FTD) mode to a Quicksilver 733 mhz 640 MB OS > 10.3 but every time I try to access the FTD for backup purposes it > freezes.
