However, if any of the docks contain an ethernet card, you can transfer via EtherTalk (Apple Ethernet). That would be the quickest way. As the iMac does not have the traditional serial ports, LocalTalk (serial) is out of the question. The drives are not compatible (the iMac uses IDE/ATAPI drives, the Docks uses SCSI) and there is not a SCSI connection on the iMac. Try for EtherTalk first (only??). Check it out, let us know and we can help walk you thru the process. Andrew ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
