I have three SCSI hard drives in my B&W, running off of two different SCSI cards. I put the largest of the drives, the fastest at 10,000 rpm, on a separate bus simply to get its speed out of it.
I'd like to run OS X on it, and start from that disk.
But OS X was installed on another of the SCSI drives.
I'm new to X, hence the following questions:
1. May I simply copy the contents of the current OS X drive to the bigger drive, while another drive is startup disk?
Use Carbon Copy Cloner:

2. Would the bigger drive then start up as OS X, with all my goodies from the previous disk?
Once the system is cloned to a new drive it will start from whichever drive you choose in the System Preferences/System/Startup Disk
3. If not, what do I do? Installing OS X takes time, I'd like to not do that again....
4. Oh, and I think I've heard rumblings that the ADB on my B&@ is not supported by the latest version of OS X. If this is the case, what is the latest version of the operating system to run on my Mac?

Works fine on mine, must be just a nasty rumor, you know how those get started!
