Bruce has it right. In target disk mode, there is only the base chipset to make the drive available running. Everything else has been bypassed. Godfrey -- Godfrey DiGiorgi - godfreydigio...@me.com - 408.431.4601 cell On Aug 28, 2013, at 12:51 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: > Steve, as I understand

Re: OT - silly question for advanced mac users

Steve, as I understand it, when a Mac is in Target Disk mode it's running off code in the boot ROM and isn't running an OS at all. So it's single-tasking and there's no way to get it to do anything else; probably just as well. Larry's suggestion of looking up the model number or serial is recommen
