One of the things that makes me consider trading in my Lombard in for a Pismo is being able to connect my powerbook to my cube over firewire using the firewire target disk mode builkt into the Pismo. If I could do this with a Lombard (OS 10.3.9) and a firewire card I wouldn't have to get a Pismo. A pismo will need a SCSI card anyway (to connect to older powerbooks) so I need to buy a card either way (and a firewire card is probably cheaper). Perhaps I could start the cube in firewire target mode then I could mount it as an external disk on the Lombard (through the firewire card)?

On Oct 30, 2005, at 15:30, G-Books wrote: Can someone tell me how I can direct download stuff to my Lombard from my G4 tower? I have a SCSI card in the G4. TIA Dave With the proper cable you can connect the Lombard to the SCSI port on the tower and have the Lombard appear on the G4 desktop as an external hard drive. It's called SCSI disk mode and requires a specific cable. It works just like firewire disk mode on later powerbooks. The correct cable plugs into the HDI-30 (SCSI peculiar to Powerbooks) port on the powerbook and the SCSI card on the G4. Turn the Lombard on first, it should start up with a SCSI icon on the screen. Then start the G4, the Lombard should appear on the desktop as a hard drive. Drag and drop. I wish there was a USB target mode for my Lombard. I may need to get a Pismo.
