Hello all.
My father in law has decided on a new 14" iBook and needs to get stuff from his old Wallstreet II (300 Mhz OS9) to the iBook (OS 10.4?). I suggested the external USB drive case for the WS hard drive but he wants to keep the Wallstreet as a backup computer (even though it has a broken hinge).

The iBook doesn't have SCSI so he can't boot the WS in target disk mode.
Could he boot the iBook in firewire mode and use a firewire PC card to mount it on the wallstreet? We'd need to find him a firewire card for the wallstreet.

Could he connect the two computers with an ethernet cable?
It would be slow but we could do it with existing ports.
Do you need a crossover cable or a regular one?
Any links to tutorials?

Thanks

Andrew
