[Ti] Target Mode

[Carbotron]

I have to admit the firewire networking is very fast! indeed almost as 
fast as running gigabit from one tibook to another. for that all you 
need is a crossover cable, of almost any quality if it's short, really.
i successfully ran a firewire network in a pinch from my winxp gaming 
box(through a few old vaxes and an ipx) to my 800 for a good several 
months till i got tired of it. now that i have wifi, i still find 
myself hooking up the firewire to xfer lots of files at a laptop hd 
limited speed. still damn fast.

Just a side note:

Instead of using target mode, you can add a Firewire network setting in 
the network settings of two computers.

Set the IP-addresses manually to say 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 and let the 
one be the router and then open file sharing on one and connect the 
other to that.

Then you don't have to boot your computer and can use it while 
transferring files at Firewire speed!

Cheers,

Kim
