I am pretty sure that you cannot connect one powerbook to another powerbook
using SCSI disk mode. You CAN connect one powerbook to a desktop Mac using
SCSI disk mode though. You can try using the serial/modem port connector. I
think all you need there is a serial port printer cable to connect them. You
would need to turn off any software that might use the port that you don't
need, e.g. appletalk, fax software, palm pilot software. Alternatively you
could use a cross-over ethernet cable on the ethernet ports if both
powerbooks have ethernet.
