Hi Jonathan, If you upgrade the drive on your 1400 to something larger than four gigabytes, do not connect the 1400 to your G4 in SCSI Disk Mode (aka HD Target Mode). Pre-G3 Powerbook models have a hardware ROM bug which can cause loss of data when using a drive larger than 4 GB in this mode., so stick with ethernet.
