This should not be a problem. I used a external 2.5" Disk to boot
Tiger Installation (FW 400). I'm not sure about USB, but Fierwire
should work (be bootable).

Hi,
This is a tad OT but somehow my question might fit in.
I just grabbed from OWC's Garage sale a Mercury Elite Pro AL
Firewire 800/400/USB 2.0 dual drive enclosure. It has the Oxford
924 chipset. The specs say it supports drives up to 1TB.
This just means the chip set has no practical maximum, and it
supports 1 TB, or 1.5 TB or even 2 TB.
I want to buy an external FW/eSATA/USB HD case for a friend with an
iMac. He wants it for backup and the external HD should be bootable.
The case I want to buy has the Oxford 934DSB chipset. Would this case/
HD be bootable?
Regards, Jörg.
