Another way to get quicker HD response is using XPF to boot from a
Firewire 400 external HD. This is cheap and gets rid of both the 1st 8
GB limit and the 128 GB limit, which only the ATA-133 card would also
do, but normally at higher total cost and less usage flexibility.
Now you mention it... the PCI USB&FW card has one internal FW400 port.
Can it be used with a INTERNAL FW HD enclosure??
You could if there were such a thing. I've never heard of one. The
internal FW connector (on this card and on some PowerMacs) was intended
for FW drives, HDs whose interface was FW, not via an IDE convertor but
directly. Such drives never materialized.
