Thanks, Harry. I'm just going to use it for shared storage on my home  
network. It doesn't need to be bootable. Non-firewire drives are less  
expensive and more readably available. The two internal drives I have  
on the G4 are bootable as well as the one external back up drive I have.
Thanks again
Fred
