[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1802693, member: 175845"] The crossover (gaming) cable would only be used to connect to another Mac for File Sharing etc. The Ethernet connections on Macs only became auto-sensing with later models, but I'm not sure of the model change/date. And as for older security and passwords, AFAIK the more recent versions will not work and I think Apple removed most of the much older security protocols. PS: Be aware if you ever need a SCSI replacement that would work, they are usually quite hard to come by, at least in these parts and as new. Just saying… but they also tended to last a lot longer than the drives of today do… :Smirk: - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
