Does TDM work in X?

[Beej]

I've got a blue iBook I'm trying to connect to a Quicksilver. Both machines are running X.1.5.

In OS X, target disk mode doen't work. When I boot into OS 9 and do exactly the same thing, it works no worries.

What goes on?

TDM == Target Disk Mode. You plug two Macs together using a firewire cable... very similar to using an external firewire drive.

And just like SCSIing two computers together, if you can remember back that far...

Hey, where is the cigar???????

Sorry I can't help with the TDM problem. If it works in 9, it should work in X. Did it work in X.1.4? Maybe it's a X.1.5 problem???

I had this same problem with my friend's iBook.

I also found that it would work using the other computer as the target disk (if that makes any sense at all--its hard to describe what I mean)

If you find an answer I'd be very interested to hear it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

TDM does work in OS X. It works great between my G4 tower (old one--400MHz) and my TiBook (also older--400MHz).

So I think the problem we are experiencing is limited to a specific situation.

when I saw "TDM" I thought "Team Death Match" and was like, "of course it worx as long as the game is OS X compliant." :o
