No, I already had a feeling like you said so my Apple stuff like kb and mouse are always in the on-board USB-ports. I recently had big problems after having booted into OS9 after I had installed the latest software via the program updater in OS9. Both my Panther partitions and my Tiger partition didn't boot anymore after starting up with the Alt-key pressed. With my internal Tiger partition I got a log-in screen which I never do as I'm admin. When I filled in my proper name and password I got a denial! I then chose my external Firewire Tiger partition in the startup control panel in OS9 and low and behold, the darn thing started. Then I repaired permissions on all OSX boot partitions and everything is back to normal. Phew! Three perfectly working boot-partitions refused to start. You can never have too much options, do you? I have an MDD with 2 internal Panther partitions and one Tiger part. on different drives and one Tiger on a Firewire drive which I regularly clone to and fro plus two OS9 boot partitions ...
