Okay. Die hard PPC Mac lover here. I've now sampled the last and the best of the PPC line from PowerBooks, iBooks, PowerMac G5s, Mac Minis... these last revisions on this PowerPC line for Apple really is impressive.

But. It is 2008.

So, the question is, can I target disk mode my PPC Macs to an Intel Mac? I'm guessing I can but never actually asked.
 
PPC can read GPT

I just did some tests. I used an Intel iMac to do an installation of Leopard on an external drive, formating it as HFS+ on a GUID Partition Table. Then I took it over to my PowerMac G5 running Leopard, and it was able to read it fine. It can also read my NTFS external drive that also uses GPT.
