Easy install configures only Heck, you'd be surprised what machines will boot from what systems. I routinely hook my 2400 up to the lab Mac in SCSI disk mode. I remember once, when we still had a PowerMac 7100, I hooked up my PB and then fired up the 7100. To my surprise, it booted from the drive in the powerbook! Furthermore, it was an 8.5.1 Easy Install, so it should have been "specific" to the 2400. It functioned well enough for me to see the desktop and everything - even my network printers seemed active! All I did was shut it down immediately, though, and then disconnect the PB, so on restart I could boot the 7100 from its internal drive and make sure it was selected in the Startup Disk control panel. Weird. Booting a nubus-based machine from a system that should have been specific to a PCI-based machine. Wade ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
