bootable firewire sata enclosure

Anyone here who've used a Firewire SATA enclosure that's bootable and care to send me the make and model. One with Ethernet would be sweet, but as long as it's bootable that should be fine. Thanks -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3,

To anyone affected in or by Japan's crisis, I want to just say I am so sorry. OK, my question: with our Intel iMacs, can we use any external hard drive as a system backup? Can you boot up on them? Do they have to be Firewire? I have an iomega, and yes, it's got Firewire. I do complete

If the backup is made by cloning your hard drive then it should be bootable. Firewire is preferable to USB 2.0 as USB 2.0 is pretty slow to boot from but in a pinch it works. If your backup was done with Time Machine then it's not bootable. If you want to see if your backup is bootable, you can
