It did work, although I had to boot in 10.4, select the FireWire-disk (once it had mounted…) as StartUp Disk. I couldn’t believe my own eyes when a Desktop i hadn’t seen for, maybe 5 years, came to life on the iBook screen! So: Now I have PB G4 running as a "slave" disk on the iBook… Now, should I try with the OS 5 disks and installl to the iBook’s HD? But, otherwise, it was fun hooking them up like that &v se it work! :D
