John, We have a combo USB/Firewire card in our c600 and it works fine with an external Firewire Hard Drive for reading and writing purposes. The FW drive will not boot the c600, or our 9600. As far as I can tell, an external Firewire drive will not boot any machine with a PCI Firewire Card. I assume it will only boot a machine that was built with FW included. And, yes, we did have to remove the CacheDoubler to add USB and Firewire. Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
