My G4 iBook (ox10.4) goes into target mode but my Mac mini (10.8.2) will not see it. I have an firewire adapter from 400 to 800. I have a G5 that sees it just fine, so it is not a connection problem unless it is the Mac mini's port. Ideas? in Mac mini by BDAqua	Show 0 Bookmarks0	3	345	February 21, 2013 12:25 PM by BDAqua
