I've formatted IDE drives to HFS, using Basilisk 2 under Win98SE, but I don't recall booting off one. Might have tried it once to see if it'd work. It should be possible to do the same with a SCSI controller and drive, then move the drive to a Mac. An alternate option is to create a disk image for use with Basilisk 2 then install the System to it, then connect up a formatted SCSI drive and copy all the contents of the disk image to the real drive. Nero Burning ROM can create bootable Mac CD-ROMs from Basilisk 2 disk images, as long as the image is small enough to fit on a CD-R. Nero will also burn HFS volumes directly from SCSI hard drives. Yet another way is to use a large capacity removable media drive (like a Zip 100) with Basilisk 2. Install a System or Mac OS to a disk then use that disk in the same type of drive connected to the Mac. I've used an external SCSI Zip 100 that way several times. It will be total Fandemonium, Summer 2005! Check website for further info. http://www.fandemonium.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
