I have one of the very first mac minis that came out. It's empty. G4.
Have an intel iMac.
Have a regular external HD running time machine.
I'd like to use firewire and throw things on the mini from the iMac that I want to be able to access, but that I don't want around all the time. I would like it to always be connected though.
Is this possible? Will they play nice? I know it was intended for mainly file transfers... not constant use like this but does it cause a problem?
Thanks for any help. I'm finding conflicting answers on google.
