Hi Mike Super Duper is er super for my clones as I can update with a synch rather than recloning. But. When at a client's it fell over trying to clone an iMac to an iBook with the iMac hooked up in target disk mode. In the end I had to clone it to ExtHD first and then to iMac. Just thought to mention this in case it helps. Your mileage may vary as specific particulars of that event may be why I had a glitch. If you do succeed with SuperDuper in Target disk mode I would appreciate knowing. all the best Brian -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
