ANyone still using OS 9 Does TIGER X.4 have CLbuttIC
My recollection is that early Mac models with built-in USB can't boot from it at all. This feature was added around the Sawtooth G4 and iMac DV, via a firmware update. I think that it arrived slightly later than the ability to boot from Firewire. (I had an iMac DV at the time, but I never needed to boot it from USB; I did boot it from Firewire.)
In addition, Mac OS X is unable to boot from USB on PowerPC Macs, but Mac OS 9 can do this (and so can Mac OS X on Intel Macs).
laura bush - VEHICULAR HOMICIDE You seem quite limited in awareness. War was declared on us, explicitly. Holy war...
I'm not sure of the exact reason for this, but I expect it is something to do with reinitialization of USB during the boot sequence, which results in the system losing track of the startup volume.
According to a footnote in boot from USB volumes because they are not fast enough. If that was true, then why doesn't it work on USB 2 either?
just says "we don't support it".
