Is this going to be possible?



I have a first generation powerbook (15" screen, 400 mhz)



I would like to firewire the macmini to the powerbook, use the powerbook screen and keyboard, on the mac mini processor and harddrive (40 gig v. 10)



What software / firmware would need to be written to make that happen? I went to the genius bar and they said it was a no go, but it seems like it should be possible, and I know there are a LOT of well-made laptops that could get a new lease on life this way.



Thanks.

    The closest thing I can think of is using VNC via a firewire network. That seems like a bunch of trouble; best to use ethernet.
