Linking shut PB w/ another computer?
I seem to remember reading a while back that it is possible to link a closed/off PB with another computer. When starting the other computer, the PB will be shown as an external hard drive, or something of the like?
Am I completely wrong about this or not? I did a few searches but couldn't find information about this again.
Can you fill me in?

Also, must it be a firewire cable, or would a USB or Cat-5 network cable work as well?
I can't see why it wouldn't work with a Windows machine.

i think the only issue would be the format of the volume (ie, formatted for mac vs a pc). can windows read mac-formatted volumes?

Only with 3rd party software installed.
I wouldn't try this at all, given the possibility that Windows could phuckup my Mac hard drive. But if you're feeling adventurous, go for it, and let us know what happens!
