So when you then say a card is "bootable" it is a card, supporting a HD not native to the board and a card that allows booting from that new drive? Firmware describes such cards? I think it's sinking in :-) Perhaps "boot-enabling" would be more accurate than "bootable". . . to a newbie like me anyway. Terry Salt Spring Island, B.C.
