Apple Tech Support has forgotten what little they once knew about SCSI. It might be physically possible, if you put a SCSI card in the G4, but both machines would be trying to operate at SCSI ID7. If you could convince the card in the G4 to work at some other ID, then they might see each other, but there wouldn't be any software that knows how to get the data you would like to transfer to a storage device, when they are connected this way. You CAN do this trick with PowerBooks, but only because they have special software which makes them "dockable". Apple apparently got that software from Outbound. :-) Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
