Older macs cannot read an intel mac in target disk mode

Interesting opinion, but not a fact. An Intel Mac can mount in Target boot mode, but can't boot a PPC Mac.
Seems to be different on the newest alu-iMacs. Some don't get those newest ones to mount at all. The previous Intel models do, in fact, mount on PPC Macs.

OK, so I mean that any machine lower than 10.4 cannot read an intel mac in target disk mode. Not a supported format.

Yes, but not sure that your response adds any info to help this thread, and there's a work-around for that.
If you have an Intel Mac, and a Mac running something older than 10.4, the old Mac can't mount the Intel system, but the Intel Mac can mount the old Mac, no problem. So, you can easily copy files across even from an older system.
