I have been checking in to external firewire drives and would like to find one that has fairly large capacity (120 GB +) and is bootable. Problem is "bootable" doesn't seem to be a bandied selling point in the specs of many of the most popular brands. My assumption is, then, that most external firewire Maxtors and others are not bootable.
How do you know which external firewire drives are bootable?, i.e., what is the technical aspect that makes them bootable? Obviously needs proper ROM read and driver load at boot. What do you need to look for, exactly? Mike -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
