[G4] Re: Super Duper Cloning software

[Marla]

I can't get to Tiger till I upgrade my firmware and,
as my drive recently failed, I just want to get a
replacement and do the clone asap with minimal stress
to the old one... but if I upgrade the firmware, and
then upgrade to Tiger, what would I do then, just look
in some Disk Utilities manual or other?
