Thanks for the info.

Any chance there's a ROM upgrade for previously
unsupported models in the KB? If not, your point sounds 
like it might be the stopper, although I don't understand 
your point about the drivers not loading, as the target Mac is 
always started first  - if there were a way to power it on. 

If not, I guess I'm looking at a Firewire enclosure for the
drive and then to "part out" ol' beige. 

Any other ideas out there?

Marc replied to question below with:

Target Disk Mode won't work at all on your Beige since you have a
FireWire PCI card installed so the drivers have to be loaded first to
enable FireWire. And the Target Disk Mode isn't built-in your firmware
yet. Check Apple's knowledgebase if you want info about which Macs
support this mode.

Andrew replied to question above with:

I can't see why this wouldn't work. There must be a way to turn it on
without a keyboard. I'm intrigued: would this be faster or more
effective than a firewire external HD?

Reply to Andrew:
Good question - I think Target Disk Mode is faster but not sure.
