What about firewire disc mode? I'm not sure what powerbooks had what capabilities, but I think they both support firewire, don't they? You boot one machine holding down the t key I think then that machine looks like a firewire drive to the other machine. That would be the fastest and easiest I think. You just connect them with a standard 6 pin firewire cable. Faster than a crossover ethernet cable. Brian Firewire disc mode? Unfortunately, I only have firewire on the iBook 500, and not on the Wallstreet II. The Wallstreet II has USB, but only through a PCMCIA card which I have inserted. . . How would you recommend doing this with either an Ethernet crossover cable or a pair of USB cables routed through a USB hub? Alternatively, what else might I try? All the best, stanton Dear List-mate, How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and an iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy files from one to the other? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
