ALL IS THE SAME WITH THE PCP. Using an eternal drive to boot up with: Select the external drive as the start up disk in your control Panel Folder. Your internal drive is "0". My external drive is set to "4". The CD drive usually comes set at "3". If (as I did) you have an external CD-RW that comes set at "4" ... you may have a problem. My external drive has a switch that lets you select "3" or "4". Calls for cable unplugging and switching. Booting with the internal dive to burn a CD. With my Kensington MasterPiece Switch controls, I turn on the monitor and the external drive and let it "Spin Up" before "Booting up". This stops any startup drive confusion and the CPU "auto rebooting". With OS 9.X, Use the Apple SYStem Profiler in the "Apple Menu" to check SCSI addresses.
