Okay.

What is the WORST that could happen?

The first is only USB 1.1, so it's slow (< 1 MB/s). The other is 2.0 so I'm gettting about 5 MB/s at the moment. I've been backing things up since last night. I've got some time today so I'm going to try to get things ready to finally start to turn the faster Athlon into a [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=191031\|Knoppmyth box]. Doing the ext3 thingy and backup will take too long. I've bookmarked this thread and will return to it, eventually. :-) Cheers, Scott.

It lives on a shared FAT32 partition on the PC, so the Linux install can get at it, too). Network was pulling a huge 5MB/sec (hurrah for half-duplex wireless!) and then I went out and bought a IEEE1394 cable. It was at this point that I discovered that on Linux, Ethernet-on-Firewire doesn't actually work for useful values of "work", so had to use XP. The Mac was, naturally, doddlesome. Hoo boy, it's quick.

I assume you know about [link\|http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintosh_CPUs-G5/PowerMacG5_SP/3Input-Output/chapter_4_section_3.html\|Target Disk Mode]. It lets you boot up a Mac so that it just looks like a disk to another Mac. It's good for moving things from a Powerbook to a PowerMac. There's a similar [link\|http://www.lowendmac.com/macdan/01/0706hj.html\|SCSI] mode too. It looks like you can't do anything similar with a PC. Of course, an IPod is supposed to be [link\|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131\|great] for going from Winders -> Mac or back, but the capacity is limited. And you have to be careful about how you do music or the software won't be happy... No first-hand experience with either TDM or iPod, just passing along some info I've picked up here and there. :-) Cheers, Scott.
