Hello everyone,

I just got my new G4 a couple of days ago and I have gigs worth of files I'd like to transfer from my PC to my Macintosh. I have a firewire cable which I know I can connect my iBook to my G4 using Target Disk Mode, but I was wonderinf if I could do the same for my PC?

My PC has a couple of firewire ports on it, but I am unsure if I can just hook the cable up between the two computers and just have it work, or if there's some settings I need to put it, or if I can't do it at all.


Any ideas?

Well, on the Macs you will need the Firewire over IP, but that is not available yet, I belive.

It was available as a public beta, but it was pulled. If you sign up as a developer, I think you can get it. I have no idea why they pulled it, so use at your own risk.

On the PC side, I understand that they have had the ability to network over FW for a while.

Another option is to install software on the PC so that it can read/write HFS+ disks. (I think MacDrive is one?)

Then start the Mac in Firewire Target Mode as usual, and plug it into the PC.
