Daisy-chain FireWire devices in Target Disk Mode
Authored by: lancermit on Jul 13, '07 08:36:54AM

Well, I just found out that the internal optical drives of iBooks, PowerBooks, etc. ALSO mount in FWTDM. Recently, I used the Combo Drive in my iBook, which was hooked up in Target Disk mode, to install Tiger on a Mac with only a CD drive.

Works Great! How does that work? The optical drive isn't on a firewire bus. ???

Can you use FWTDM to burn dvd/cd's?? everytime i insert a blank DVD on the TDM mac my other mac will detect the HDD of the FWTDM Mac, but not the blank DVD inside it... Is there a way to do this??
