Hi,
The key combination thing is to force the mac to startup from
another drive rather than the internal hard drive - is this the
combination that you mean - command/opton/shift/delete and the scsi id of
the chosen drive - works with any bootable drive or device with a
bootable disk in it.
An external scsi hard drive should just connect to the 6200 and
mount at startup or there may be an id or termination problem - try
another scsi id for the external.
Cheers
Pete
