Buy a Firewire case to mount your drive in, then attach the drive to your new Firewire equipped Mac. If your replacement Mac is an older model and doesn't have Firewire, attach the drive to a friends and burn the data to CD, or copy it over via ethernet. All iMacs from 400 MHz upwards have Firewire, as do all current Macs. Attach as a slave to a G4 tower, then as before, burn to CD or copy to your replacement Mac via ethernet. If you lay the drive above the G4's existing drive, you will need to jumper your drive as a slave. The jumper config may be on the drives label, if not a Google search will find it. Alternatively pull the G4's optical drive connectors and attach directly to your old iMac disk. Steve Bell -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
