I am running Leopard 10.5.8 on a trusty E-Mac and have just obtained a  LaCie 
1TB hd, ostensively to become my Time Machine backup device. It was advertised 
as usb/firewire, but unfortunately, it is exclusively usb2.

My question is: How can this be used as a Time Machine (and boot Mac should 
that be necessary?) 

Is there a converter device which will make the LaCie usb hd look like Firewire 
to my Mac?  

Is there a software hack which will make the PPC Mac be happy to boot from a 
usb device?

Suggestions would be welcomed.
