I wondered if the iBook could do the same thing. After trying it out it worked like a charm. At the moment it is sitting on my bookshelf running Internet Sharing until I get the Bay Trial box working again or buy a different wireless range extender with ethernet connectivity.

Great to hear a use for an old machine! My G4 12" is my dedicated film scanner machine because it has builtin FW400 (my Mini only has FW800). The machine sits nicely on top of the scanner, and I can then mount my main machine and transfer the files over via file sharing.
