BUT as you pointed out, a USB XHD will not start up.
NOW, is there any USB XHD that does NOT have their own power supply and
so can start up?
These external USB HDs WILL boot. You must attach the HD prior to
booting and have it fully powered up prior to starting the Mac. Hold the
Option key at startup to select the USB drive. You can also select the
USB drive from Apple Startup Disk if you're booted in OS 9, but this
WILL NOT work with Startup Disk in OS X. Using the Option key is the
best idea.
Will this work with the Summer 2000 iMacs too?
