Hal, and others: Today I tried booting my Pismo with the ME-910U2F via the USB port (that's the combination Firewire/USB2 housing). I was unable to persuade the Pismo to boot via USB. I did successfully boot via the Firewire port on this same housing, into both OS 9 and OS X, as previously noted. Thus, I do not expect that the ME-910U2 (the dual USB2 enclosure), nor the ME-911U (the differently-styled USB1.1 enclosure) would be bootable on my Pismo either, nor on the 7200 I previously mentioned. They may be able to mount the drives; however, I don't know yet.
