The other day, while cleaning the garage, I spotted my last mac in the corner and a light went off.
This was an old Powermac that was the clear plastic case "greyish" desktop machine, I can't recall what iteration, but it wound up in the corner when the video card and driver became to expensive to fix/replace. I bought a new Imac. The thing is I don't think I pulled off all the files.
So here's my question: Can I take my laptop down there, plug in a Firewire connector to both machines, then start up the laptop first, and then start the old desktop machine and see its hard drive on the Laptop?
I'm trying to eliminate having to plug in a keyboard, or monitor on the old Desktop machine.
