hang on, I remember that I do have a firewire CABLE, so if I could
track down the PCI card, start the iBook in target disk mode (can I do
this with only OS9 installed). Then I could (possibly) image the
unmountable firewire disk with a WinXP imaging tool (which I have a
few of).
What say anyone?
Cheers.
