Jaguar Kills Target Disk Mode?
I tried putting my Powerbook into Target Disk Mode to copy some files onto it from a PMG4 and holding Command+T at startup did nothing. The computer just booted normally.
Before Jaguar it would go into Target Disk Mode and then I could mount the PB's hard drive onto the PMG4's desktop.
Did Apple get rid of Target Disk Mode or just change the keyboard shortcut?
Anyway, I was able to do copy the files using Rendevous so it all worked out in the end, but Target Disk Mode was kinda neat.

Also, I think it's just 'T', not 'command-T'. I don't know if that would make a difference (don't feel like restarting to check).
<strong>ooh, you might be right!</strong><hr></blockquote>
he IS. it's only T. have fun !
Not that AGP is a requirement, but I believe Target Disk Mode was added starting with the motherboards that had AGP.
But as it is now, anyone with another Mac and a firewire cable can open up my HD like a can of corn.
Can anyone confirm the Target Disk Mode supported models? I think I saw a page on AppleSpec or something. I Will check this later.
