an iMac 333 and an iMac 500?
I would have thought Firewire target disk mode, but the iMac 333 doesn't have Firewire... it does have wireless via a USB adapter, but the iMac 500 doesn't. (I could always temporarily stick an Airport card in the 500, but I don't have the weirdo adapter.)
Another problem: this particular 500, its built-in Ethernet is busted, so I am using a USB-Ethernet adapter to get the Ethernet. So though I would have normally thought to use Ethernet, USB might actually be faster... even though it's only USB1.1 on both ends.
