According to the Apple Knowledge Base article I read target disk mode  
only works for internal master ATA (and not ATAPI) drives. The  
external USB drive I had attached to my PowerBook did not show up on  
the other machine. However, my DVD/CD-RW did work with an OS X  
install DVD, but not a music CD. Now that I think about I have used  
the DVD drive in my PowerBook to install OS X on a machine that did  
not have a DVD drive.
