Target mode between Macbook pro 2017 and Mac Pro 1.1

A likely reason is that the new file format used on your MacBook Pro with High Sierra is unreadable to older Macs running previous macOS versions. Read about Target Disk Mode here: How to use target disk mode to move files between two Mac computers - Apple Support.
