Thank you Bruce and Dan. I was not thinking the drives are bootable, but I needed to deconflict Apple's info about volume initialization compatibility with G4s and Intel Macs. Now my last questions I think. Does a USB hard drive connected to a Time Machine volume or a Time Capsule become an extension of that volume for Time Machine's purposes, or does it become just a place to copy what's already on the TM/TC, or both? And if both, I hope that user procedures for choosing the option I want to use is simple and foolproof.
