[G4] External SATA drive for Quicksilver

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings Fred ( + )!( + )

The configuration that you have outlined should work, however be aware  
that you will not be able to boot from the drive connected to the USB  
port.

If you can find one I would recommend a 'Firewire" external enclosure  
as it will be a bootable device.
I have a 320Gb drive connected through a Firewire enclosure which is a  
bootable drive.

Cheers
