Hi, I'm soon to buy before me an external DVD drive, eeepc not only because of the iMacs but also because my. Now I have the following question. I have read on several sites that the iMac G3 can not boot from external USB drives. Is that right? because when I later Tiger hew me on it, yes I need a DVD drive from which you can boot. And since it is external I could not install Tiger on it. Greeting
usually PPCs can not boot via usb (exceptions prove the rule), but there are ways to make it possible, here's a howto, not tested on my computers, but probably worth a try: http: //blog.bitkanal. net / 2007/12/18 / powerbook-of-external-usb-drive-boot /
Ok, that means if I buy an external drive, it may be that it is not running. How it looks with Firewire devices? Can he of which boot? Open Firmware ais marine is that already on the mac?
Aha ok and where can I get those drives low, and how much you should pay maximum for as an external Firewire drive. Do I need to buy something special when drive for the iMac G3 note (eg., Only firewire 400 or such things)? Greeting
Ok good, then I'll soon set times an external DVD drive with Firewire and USB. A little bit off topic. Out of pure interest, there are actually different versions of Firewire? I read somewhere once 400 and 800 and what was where before 400. Which actually has the iMac G3? Firewire is also backwards compatible as USB. So that when a 400 it connects a device for Firewire ais marine 800 still works just on 400 he speed.
