Hiya Listers, Could any of you please kindly tell me what to do to get a new external Firewire drive to show up on the desktop of a G3 iBook?
Yes, the external drive is good, and so are the Firewire cables -- the external drive shows up fine on my G4 Quicksilver's desktop with either of my two Firewire cables. Also, if I start the iBook in target disk mode (connected to the external HD), its HD appears on the Quicksilver's desktop -- which is nice/shows the Firewire equipment is good, but I need for the Firewire drive icon to appear on the iBook's desktop like it does on the Quicksilver, it's "easier" for my backwards brain to move data that way. The iBook is a G3/800. The external HD is an OWC Mercury Elite 500 GB, currently in 2 partitions (may change this to 3 or 4 once I get this iBook business straightened out). Thanks so much, ~Yersinia. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
