USB on a 6400? Or Ethernet to an IMAC? - 2007/10/21 23:02 I have a 6400 - 200 Performa tower that I still do some real work with, mostly because it is maxed and works perfectly. Also I have versions of Apps that are 8.6 friendly and do the job nicely for what I need out of this machine. I'd like to add a card or some such that would get USB capabilities on this machine.

I would like to do this somehow so I can swap files with my newer machines, and also to get a multi-Gig drive on it for back-up. The internal IDE is getting noisy, and the external SCSI is also noisy. I'd like to run all this stuff off onto an external USB drive so if I loose the IDE I can buy another and dump everything back on a new drive.

Also, is there a Ethernet crossover cable that I can plug between the 6400 and an IMAC or something? If so how do I set that up? At least I could drag everything off of the 6400 onto a USB drive connected to the IMAC that way?
