Thanks for the correction, David. It may depend on the version of the iMac and iBook, if one of them has autosensing ports or not. I have made this kind of connection several times with an iBook SE/466 and an iMac DV 400, but I may be wrong in assuming that it was an ordinary cable.
In any case, if the other Kim already has a crossover cable, it will do for sure! Kim On 24/06/04 1:28, "David M.
