Speaking of Booting CD-ROM drives, all SCSI drives could boot if you held command-option-shift-backspace! and the number of the SCSI ID the CD-ROM drive was. However IDE drives are not so forgiving. I think Apple computers look for a Drive ID number or drive type code from the circuit board, Cause ANY drive set on the Second channel IDE bus AS master should be able to use the "C" Key but it doesn�t always seem to be the case. So you do need to fool with the slave and master settings. AND ALWAYS keep CD-ROM's separate from the HD! God forbid if you mix!
