> Any ideas? Yes. Some Mac II's (like the IIci) have the possiblity to be used as an external SCSI hatddisk. For this, you need to remove a jumper on the logic board, called 'ROM select'. Normaly booting the Powerbook and being connected to the switched-on but now quite numb mac II (or your PM8500, if it has the feature) , you might be able to transfer all her stuff. and then there's always SneakerNet :) good luck, -mart -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
