Migrating to Intel

[mdavey]

Hi,

Has anyone come across any good references or documents describing how to move from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac while preserving as much data and configuration as possible?

It seems as if the setup assistant will manage just fine for most people.

Or if you have .Mac. That transfers most of your current settings over.

That works between Intel and PPC? Kewl! So all I need is a 6-pin Firewire cable. Thanks for your reply

I might have an extra 6-6 FW cable lying around. Do you have one, or were you thinking of buying one?

That brings up a question for me, are the Intel Macs capable of connecting to PPC Macs via Target Disk Mode which is a feature in the firmware

Im guessing it would be on both systems

That is very kind of you - I think it must be about the only computer cable I don't have . I have a local independent computer store near me with a fantastic stock (and customer service) and good low prices, I'll pick one up from there. Thanks for the offer all the same, I appreciate it!

Hey, no worries, just thought I'd offer.
