Q: Connecting a G4 to the Macbook Pro

Hi,

 

I have an oder G4 desktop circa 2000 that I'm trying to daisy chain to my new quad-core macbook pro.

I've tried connecting via the ethernet cable and also by running the G4 through my iomega external hard drive via firewire > my iomega drive is attached to the macbook pro.   The G4 doesn't show up on the desktop in either of these configurations.

 

I ran across this article from Apple: 

How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661

 

Thought I might try this but don't know how to find the manufacturing date of my G4 to see if it qualifies.

 

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

 

Thanks,

ssc

G4
