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. Don Wakefield DTPetc! (DeskTop Productions et cetera!)
