Hi Steven,
I'm going a bit on memory re OS9 but if you are going to transfer over
ethernet, first make sure you have file sharing on the OS9 machine
turned
on and the hard disk (or partition, if relevant) where the data
resides set
as shared.
You may probably need some of those extensions you've turned off
back on for
it all to work. Generally (but not always) extension problems were
due to
third party extensions - so go with just turning on the basic Apple
extension set.
OSX should see OS9 over ethernet -so make sure you connect from the
OSX
MacBook Pro to the OS9 Powerbook and not vice-versa. If the machine
still
won't show up when browsing the network try checking the actual
ethernet
address on the OS9 machine and put that in as the "connect to"
address on
the OSX machine.
Re the ethernet connection :
Older Macs when connected together via ethernet needed a " crossover
" cable !
Explanation : Your ethernet has a "go" pair , and a "receive" pair
of wires .
It follows that the " go" of one Mac must arrive at the "receive" of
the other Mac .
Ordinary ethernet cables have the same connections at both ends ,
making them
connect go to go and receive to receive . This obviously cannot
work !
Hence the need for a crossover ethernet cable .
In later models of Macs , the ethernet circuitry senses the incoming
signal
and will switch internally to complete a working connection.
So it depends on the Macs you are dealing with whether you must have
a crossover cable .

Hoping someone can please give me some tips on how to copy data
from a
PowerBook G3 to my MacBook Pro?
I understand the PowerBook has OSX installed, but it doesn¹t seem
to boot up
with OSX it only seems to boot up with OS 9.2.2. Even then, bombs
and what
not appear on start up, unless I boot up with Extensions off. The
PowerBook
is basically a piece of cr*p, but all I want to do is save the
data from the
hard disk.
The PowerBook has no USB or FireWire port, but it does have an
ethernet
port. I've connected the two machines via ethernet cable, but then
what do I
do? If I click on the Network icon on my MacBook Pro, I don't see the
PowerBook.
Grateful for any suggestions.
Regards, Steven
