Get an external USB backup Drive Copy the contents of the G3, Then copy them to the PC using the same method (USB) On Fri 03/20/09 5:33 PM , "Diane Rohlman" [email protected] sent: This is to follow up on my earlier question. One of our users is having trouble... Is there a way to directly connect the Mac to a Vista Windows PC, perhaps with a null-modem ethernet cable? I'd appreciate if you or one of your colleagues could give me instructions on how to set up such a connection, including hardware and software (both Mac and PC) requirements. We only need to transfer the CPT data files from the Mac to the PC. Thanks! Diane S.
