Hi Joe
You've just saved me the bother of making a few more notes. smile
I'm feeling a lot more confident having read through the posts again but, call it nit-picking or confusion (as I've said before I'm quite easily confused over the last few/many years), there are a couple of points I'd appreciate your clarification on if you would please.
Firstly, point 3 of your initial response mentions using a six pin to six pin firewire cable - I assume this was in the days of FW400, 'cos I've bought a nine pin to six pin cable. smirk
Secondly, on your last post you suggest to be sure that the target volume is healthy. a) Should this be necessary on a brand new machine (I guess I know your answer to this) and b) how and when should I do this if (according to your first post, again point 3) I've already tied the two machines together ready for action. confused
I hope all this doesn't sound ungrateful - it's beginning to and I really don't mean it to - but confusing and confusion come so natural to me. blush
Regards. Mike
