Urbz Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi everyone, recently I've been enjoying the whole philosophy of having all my data centralized and being able to access it anytime, anywhere. My iBook G3 is often used in conjunction with my Mac mini, with the mini as my main Mac and the iBook as my mobile typing-on-the-couch-in-front-of-my-tv Mac. A feature I'd sure love is being able to boot either one of them from the other via Target Disk Mode. Two Intel Macs can do this, or two PPC macs can do this, but leopard will allow for both my machines to boot eachother's hard drives. So here are my questions: Would it be worth installing leopard just for this? Do I have to reformat either one? More importantly, in order for this to work, does leopard have to be installed on both machines, or just one? And would this feature even work with a G3? Thanks, Urby Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34856-one-version-for-ppc-and-intel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 ... as far as we know. it might be possible to get it to work on unsupported hardware, just like versions of Tiger were successfully installed on machines which didnt meet the minimum spec. (i'm talking PPC here, not osx86). We'll all just have to wait and see what transpires...

Urbz Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 ^ Yeah that's how I was gonna install it... and I was talking about right now, not when the "real" leopard comes out... Should I restate my first question? Does Leopard's target disk mode work / can you boot another leopard volume?

A Nonny Moose Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 When the real Leopard comes out, XPostFacto will most likely be updated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34856-one-version-for-ppc-and-intel/#findComment-248598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
