Can I do this by USB or do I need to get a Firewire cable? If one of them only has USB1 and the other has USB2.0 then your transfer speed will still be limited to USB1 speeds - the weakest link scenario. If they both have firewire then that is what I'd use. FW cables can be had very cheaply on ebay for a few dollars. Stewie _ If It Exists, You'll Find it on SEEK.

Re: G3 to G3
It's better off connecting the 2 computers using ethernet cables, then in system preferences, go to sharing, and turn on file sharing. do this for both computers. Then go to the GO menu in finder. click connect to server. then, using the information that was provided to you in the system preferences, type it in the bar, or browse for your computers. Using the computer you want to transfer the files from, mount the network HDD (which is the other computer's HDD). and then drag your files to there. make sure that when plugging the ethernet cables, one end is plugged into the ethernet port, the other is on a router. this must be the same on both systems. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

If the machines are OSX then Migration Assistant is the way to go on this, if not a finder drag will do it.

A finder drag works for me, but migration assistant works too. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
