Help transferring from 7600 SCSI to new 933??

[athlone]

I need to transfer files and apps from: PowerMac 7600 (PT3!), 1G internal HD, 4 x 4G external Glyph SCSI drives to:
new G4 933 w Superdrive, 80G internal IDE. I don't have a functioning CD burner to make data files. (I'd like to keep the old system intact after the transfer to donate it.) Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It's funny you should ask as I'm right in the middle of doing exactly the same thing from a 7300 to a G4 733 , superdrive ,etc ... Anyway the way that was reccomended to me was to use an ethernet crosssover connection cable , with file sharing engaged and ethernet selected in the tcp/ip ,and just transfer everything , I have this cable but have not yet succeded , but I feel I'm close ,it's too late to get the info Ineed to finish the job tonight , but I'll post again when I've succede , hope this is some help to you .

DJ, If you keep having problems, someone just suggested I get a SCSI PCI card ($50), and just connect the drives directly to transfer. I don't know if that's the answer, but I thot I'd throw it out. Anyone?

Either method will work.

When working with Ethernet:
-Double check and make sure you are using a Crossover cable.

-Assuming AppleTalk and File Sharing is active for both systems, you should be able to "see" the other computer by opening the Chooser and highlighting the "AppleShare" device.

If using SCSI, you will have to remove the drive from the previous computer and install it in an external case before you can connect it to your SCSI card.

DigiSupt: There's 4 external wide SCSI drives as well as the internal. Can I just connect the external drives to the new SCSI card to transfer, and then dump the internal drive onto one of the externals and transfer that? Don't quite get what you mean by external case. . .Thanks.

Guys evrything worked perfectley with the ethernet connection just set it to the dhcp server and it will set everything itself , tansferred all the files I wanted from the old and put the good new stuff back on the old as I'm selling it on to a friend , you can only go one way at atime though , but everything worked like a dream .
