Q: How do I connect G4 os 9.0.4 to G5 osx 10.4.11
I have a G4 running OS 9.0.4 and a G5 running 0s x 10.4.11
I have them hard wired via an ethernet cable. I would like to share files between the two. The G5 recognizes the G4 but I cannot connect to the G4. It says “This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect to it.” So can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
The reason I have OS 9 on the G4 is I have some really old 3D applications I would like to use and then transfer the graphic files to the G5.
I also have an iMac running OS x10.7.5 and it connects to the G5 without any problem.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. Jessica Z.

See my FAQ*:

Note, Mac OS X 10.7.5 will not open applications from a G5.
