Hello all.
My father in law has decided on a new 14" iBook and needs to get
stuff from his old Wallstreet II (300 Mhz OS9) to the iBook (OS
10.4?).
I suggested the external USB drive case for the WS hard drive but
he wants to keep the Wallstreet as a backup computer (even though
it has a broken hinge).
The iBook doesn't have SCSI so he can't boot the WS in target disk
mode.
Could he boot the iBook in firewire mode and use a firewire PC card
to mount it on the wallstreet? We'd need to find him a firewire
card for the wallstreet.
Could he connect the two computers with an ethernet cable?
It would be slow but we could do it with existing ports.
Do you need a crossover cable or a regular one?
A crossover cable will always work even on autosensing ethernet
ports, which saves the cost of a firewire card.
