Is there any need for concern in connecting 2 mac's (Pismo power book and Blue & White G3) via firewire with a 6 pin to 6 pin cable. Would this cable connect the power leads of both computers together???

  I have been using laptops as external hard drive with desktop Macs over 6-6 FireWire-cable many times with no noticable problems.
  First you boot your desktop and then connect your laptop via FW 6-6 cable and boot your laptop while holding "T" key down. This makes your laptop function as an external hd for desktop.
