I believe they do support Target Disk Mode, yes.

just restart the iBook while holding down the "T" key and then connect it to another computer with a firewire cable and bam, it's an oversized HD.

What's your problem?!? Someone answered your question with the correct answer, and you go back and edit your question with anger?!?

The method for turning a Mac into an external hard drive is Target Disk Mode. If you don't like this, well, then you're stuck.

And this is after people ALREADY correctly answered your question in first thread you started about it.
