So I traded that G3 for another from the stack. Bits of plastic missing, but it works and has more room on the drive. I read online how one can network OSX and Windows with firewire... they call it "IP over Firewire": http://www.lifehacker.com/software/networking/geek-to-live-fast-one-wire-net... But it's mentioned as a way to transfer files. Does anyone know if this "network" method would work for running PD? If so it seems like it would be the perfect way, for its speed...
it's just 'normal' ip, so everything that works over an ip network, also works over an ip-over-fw network (but only point-2-point) it's around 4 times as fast as 100mbit ethernet, but slower than 1gbit, so nowadays it isn't really of much use anymore when 1gbit is built-in in most new comps and the cards are cheap.
