You'll only need an ethernet-crossover-cable. > Are there any settings such as file sharing etc that have to be set a > certain way? Set both Macs to ethernet. My suggestion (understanding iMac has 9.x and G4 has 10.2.x): On G4 make a new user, share the dropbox. Open this on iMac and put all you want to transfer from iMac in this dropbox. > Do I need to have the G4 in classic mode to match the 9.2 OS on the iMac? No, see above. If you are more familiar with 9.x then boot G4 in 9.x. Create a new desktopfolder on G4, share this and open on iMac. Now same as above.
