I have an iMac G4 1GHz

I however have 2005 HP PC with a working DVD Drive, and a FW 400 port.
Can I put my HP PC on target mode ? and hook it up to my iMac by FW
400?
There's no FW Target Disk mode for PCs. It would sure be great of
someone would write a BIOS hack that would enable FW Target Disk mode
for PCs.
If you're not needing to boot from the optical drive, you can network
the PC to the Mac and use the optical drive on the PC. If you need to
boot from the optical drive you'll need an external optical FW drive,
or another Mac booted in Target disk mode with a working optical drive.
