Even though the OP says Backup Drive, I think he could also use an internal partitioned drive that has Classic OS 9.1 on one partition for his purpose, then use option key on Startup. I don't think he means a drive that he can use as a external backup for his OSs, Apps or Docs. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
