Hmm, how odd, I booted my TiBook with the original 20G Travelstar in it without a power supply, what rev of the TiBook do you have? I have a rev a 500 Mhz one. OWC had (I think they still do) IBM FW cards for 29 bucks, works fine for me in both 9 and X, as long as I don't try hot swapping the card. That is, if the card is in the machine when I boot, or I insert it, it works fine, I can swap devices just fine, but if I eject the card, it won't mount devices unless they're powered on and connected before I reinsert the card. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
