G5/Powerbook G4 target/P2 card won't mount?

[Ted Spencer]

I believe it's possible to use my Powerbook G4 (1.67 GHz) in "target mode" to mount its inserted P2 card on my desktop G5, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here's what I've tried:

-Insert P2 card in Powerbook
-Connect PB to (already running) G5 via firewire
-Start PB in target mode (holding down 'T' key)

When I do this, the PB's hard drive appears on the G5 desktop as it should, but not the P2 card.

When starting the PB up normally it works fine as a P2 card reader, FCP to FW HD transfer station etc.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Assuming it should work, that is...

Do I need to install the P2 driver on my G5 too (it isn't yet). I'm running Leopard 10.5.5.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Answered you over at the other post.

But have you looked in the User/Desktop Folder on the mounted G4?
