Hi John, I’ve changed the subject to Transfer/Migrate OS 9.2.2 PowerBook ‘Pismo’ G3 to OS X 10.6.7 Intel iMac.
More questions need answering please: How much RAM does the PowerBook have installed … 1GB? How large is the HD … 20GB? How much ‘Free’ space left on the HD? The PowerBook can read a DVD disc ok?
