I don't want to buy it if it's not Mac compatible, as I really only want it as a fast external drive and easy backup device for my older Macs (and the 9600 I'm buying soon).
So far I have managed to boot my 7100cx from it using Cmd-Opt-Shift-Del, which is pretty damn smart. Looks like it will work with with HFS CDs inserted pre-boot too. Doesn't boot with just 'C' held but I know some Apple drives that don't on a some Macs!
It looks to work OK with the 8.1 CD (5.4.4) driver. Maybe it's because it was mounted from boot. I'll have to check. Are there any issues with using the 5.4.4 driver with OSs back to 7.1? I'll grab the CD-ROM 5.3.1 driver and try that if so.
