My blue & white G3 can't boot from firewire, so I doubt the beige's
can. The only path to firewire booting is a newer machine, but I don't
know what the first generation that supported it was. I thought it was
the first G4s, but I'm not sure and Mactracker is no help in this area,
at least not that I can find. I believe my Digital Audio Dual-533 G4
boots from firewire, but now that I think about it, I don't think I've
actually tried it. I'll have to give it a whirl....

Hi,
I've been trying different firewire enclosures to boot my
beige from but no luck so far. I have the Sonnet Trio PCI
combo-card in a 300 Mhz MT with a rev. 2 mobo.
I've read on this list before that beige G3s do boot from
firewire-disks and that the Sonnet cards give no
problems. Is it the chip on the controller in the
enclosure?
If yes, for which chips do I have to look to get a
bootable firewire-disk?
TIA for your help.
J�rg.
