That's right. I forgot that detail. Booting from FW has been built into the hardware for many years. Booting from USB is newer, but works for recent models (as previously noted). I would expect USB booting to be less reliable just because I generally find USB to be less reliable, but I have not tried it. I note that Apple's migration tool uses FW, not USB, even though Macs all come with USB2 these days. >Haven't seen a tiny FW drive like that before. Can I get one without the >TT software? They are rare, but if you google on "firewire flash drive" you will find them. Reviews say they are no faster than USB2 flash drives and a bit more expensive. Definitely a special-purpose only product. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
