[WelMac] Fwd: Connecting 2 iBooks Q, one not in good nick!

[Neil Bartlett]

Hi Rich,

You don't say where you are? You need a firewire cable not ethernet  
as needs to start and have file-sharing working to use Ethernet. If  
you are in Wellington and can get to my office in Lyall Bay I can help.

Let me Know
Regards
Neil
