Re: Recommended bootable external Firewire drives for G4 MDD Dual-1Gb
Hi, Any FW enclosure with Oxford chip set and HDD PATA will do the trick with CCC. The Oxford chip enclosures will boot the Mac's with out fail 99.9% of the time. I'm partial to the Seagate 500 GB drives in an OWC enclosure. but that's just me:-) I would go for an external case with Oxford controller and just a little space at the connector for a 10-dollar adapter so you can fit a SATA hd, You can get more than a TB for the same money you pay for a 500 GB PATA drive. You just need a little adapter for about 10 dollars.

I've also been using a couple of odd ball brands, that I got as refirbs from eCost or new from Meritline. Shop around. The price range can be amazing. IMO, you're good as long as you stay away from WD boxes and mechanisms. I prefer SATA boxes, as those drives are less expensive than IDE these days. WRT booting via USB... Some ppc Macs *do* support it. Try it. Make a full clone on a USB-connected drive (ignore CCC's warning that it's not bootable) then boot your Mac and hold down the option key. When it brings up the choice of boot devices, if it includes the USB drive, try it! If not then stick with FW.

FWIW, every external box I've purchased over the past couple of years worked just fine to boot Macs. In fact, you can probably boot your MDD over a USB device (below). The MDD's and most PPC machines will boot USB sticks and will boot USB drives as long as the drive is fully powered via power adapter not BUS powered. Just boot with option key till the USB device shows.

I have an iPhone 4 and when I connect it to the front port iTunes doesn't automatically start up I have to manually start it. Now iPhoto does start up automatically (which is annoying sometimes since I usually don't have any photos on the iPhone that I've taken). Now come to think of it maybe it's an iTunes 9.2.1 thing.

I think you've got a problem and you just don't know it. The problem is that you don't get any Quartz Extreme or Core Graphics acceleration, so if you're using Tiger 10.4+, your graphics are literally crawling slow compared to what is possible. If you're stuck in MacOS 9.x you're probably OK since you'll have a matched set of antiquated OS video card. If this were my Gigabit I'd be looking for at least a Radeon card that supports Quartz Extreme, and perhaps something that supports Core Graphics also, such as an nVidia GeForce FX5200 or 6200. A flashed PC card would be cheap, and could do wonders for any Gigabit running Tiger 10.4+. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
