We may be talking apples and oranges here, but about three months ago, I had a similar problem with my seven-year-old lampshade. I took it to the Apple doctor here in Bowling Green and the man told me the the motherboard was fried but the hard drive was okay. He sold me a FireWire cable for about $7.00 (male plugs on both ends). I plugged one end into the lampshade and the other into my new Intel Core 2 Duo iMac desktop. An icon appeared on the desktop (a larger version of the one that identifies the FireWire port), floating around the screen, but when I clicked on it, I got the hard drive menu. Then clicked on the files I wanted to transfer, and Mac did the rest. I keep the old lampshade handy because it's still got files I use only occasionally, but it's a snap to transfer 'em to the desktop when I need 'em. You've probably already solved your problem, but I thought I'd offer this for whatever use it might be. Best of luck with your problem.
