Hello
I have a new G4 dual mirror I want to network to my old G3 to move a lot of files over.

I have One monitor to share between them. Im not sure if I can disconnet the monitor while each machine is on.

each machine has three partitions/HD, and the G4 has two HD's

Id like all to appear if possible.

Ive tried the Firewire method and on my G3
only the G4 original HD appears, with no 2d HD that has three partitions.

I have a ethernet crossover ccable, I think I can start file sharing, but then have to move the monitor over from a computer thats on, to the one thats off and boot the second and turn file shaing on?

the apple manual that came with the G4 is moot on disconnecting/reconnectin a monitor that on.

thanks rotut
