[quote testcase]" With a SCSI cable, you can use Target Disk Mode, works just like it does over FW"
I've never heard this one before, Mr645. Have you done this yourself (or actually seen it done)?
SCSI Disk mode, is what it's called. The name changed to Target Disk Mode when Macs went Firewire. But whatever --- just go the printer cable route; I'd neglected that one because it requires setting up a network.
The way SCSI Disk mode works --- remember, you'd need that 30-pin cable, not the 29-pin one --- is you shut down both Macs and hook them up. Boot the PB, then the 6360. The PB only shows a SCSI symbol on its screen; the desktop Mac will have the PB's hard disk on its desktop. Pretty slick! Today's Firewire Target Disk mode works the same way.
