Ken -- facing a similar task, with a WDC 80 GB drive. I found potential software at http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html in a Google search, and it sounds tailor made, especially as the author has different version for different vintage OS X, and because it is free ware/donation ware. Carbon Copy Cloner Has anyone else any experience with it? I've not tried it yet, I have to go out and buy a Firewire external drive enclosure before I put Carbon Copy Cloner to use.
