Target Disk Mode on Intel Mac and connecting to M2 Mac

Hi,

I need some help. I have MacBook 12" that I believe has a dead drive. When I boot it in Recovery Mode, I don't see the drive in Disk Utility. I want to do one last thing and try Target Disk Mode. When I connect a USB-C cable (the one that comes with the MacBook charger between the MacBook12 and an Intel MacBook Pro, putting the MacBook 12 in Target Disk Mode, I don't see the drive at all on the MacBook Pro. I just want to make sure that it's not the cable so I thought let me try this with the Intel MacBook Pro and a M2 MacBook Air. I put the Intel MacBook Pro in Target Disk Mode and connect to the M2 MacBook Air and I don't see the Intel MacBook Pro drive on the M2 MacBook Air. In all the documentation, it shows that Target Disk Mode is different on the Apple Silicon but all the examples are putting the Apple Silicon Macs in Target Disk Mode and not the Intels. If I want to use the Intel MBP in Target Disk Mode, can I just connect them the way I did or is this incompatible with the M's and you can only share the disk from MacBook with the Apple Silicon? This seems overly complicated. I get the sharing is different on the newer models but I would think if I want to share from an older model to a newer model it would be the same.
