Here is my situation: I have been using a Beige G3 with a Zif Upgrade. The Beige runs at 500mhz. I have added firewire and USB cards and they work fine. In fact, the entire computer is performing well.
I was recently given a 450 mhz G4 tower which I expect to be faster than the Beige and I want to start using it ASAP. My ZIF upgrade is compatible with the new Mac, so I can use it. The problem(s) I want to transfer all of my settings, software authorizations, bookmarks, and email addresses to the newer Mac. But The hard drive from the Beige is incompatible with the new G4 so I can't simply add the Beige's hard drive to the G4. Nor will it mount on the G4 regardless of jumper settings. Apple's Migration Assistant did not work because the Beige does not have native firewire. I did a Carbon Copy Clone of the Beige onto my external firewire drive but I can't figure out how to transfer the clone to the newer Mac. I hope that some of you have experience with this scenario and can offer some ideas towards a solution. Also, considering the time and trouble, do you think I will see any speed increases over the Beige?
