As he is running OS9 on his machine, and to save transfering all the files i need onto his computer, i thought i would take my drive out the cube, pop it into a firewire enclosure and boot up off it using the iBook, will this work ok? and if so, is there a keyboard shortcut to use (i seem to remember something about holding down the F key)
