File migration from one Morphos machine to another

[Matt_H]

Two ideas:
1. Put the G4 drive in an external enclosure to plug into the G5 machine after bootup (no boot conflicts this way).
2. Rename and change the boot priority of the G4 partitions so they won't conflict with the G5. i.e., if the boot/SYS: partition on both machines is DH0, change the G4 device name to SDH0, and make sure it has a lower boot priority than the G5's boot partition. You might have to change the volume names as well, and of course you can change the partitions back to their old names once the copy is complete and the drive is back in the G4.

No need for an external enclosure, just press T on the G4 keyboard and it will power on in "target disk mode" and effectively be an external enclosure.

Neat idea - I often forget about that Mac feature. But I always thought it was an OSX-specific thing. Does it present as a standard USB mass storage device?
