The Iomega driver is installed to the disk's bootblocks when one initializes the Zip disk, and doesn't refer to a driver located in the disk's System Folder. A Zip with a valid system folder should be bootable if initialized using the Iomega formatting utility. Best case would have the user initialize the Zip in the device from which one expected to boot (in this case the EB Module Zip.) However, the Zip mechanism's Master/Slave status on the Expansion Bay's bus determines whether or not the EBM itself is bootable. If correctly set to Master the drive _should_ be bootable, if set to Slave will probably be _not_ bootable. I'm not sure if Apple System Profiler can correctly determine M/S status in a 1400 EBM, but ASP's one possible way to check. hth, Dan ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
