[conspire] Firewire os10 booting

[John Andrews]

This is slightly off topic but. I'm investigating about booting a slot loading 
imac from FW hard drive.( after updating the firmware and ram.) Some FW 
drives are kind of expensive and was wondering about firewire enclosures that 
can use a  cheaper hard drive. I understand that there is one desirable chip 
that the good FW drives use. Has anyone had experience booting os 10.xx from 
a FW drive? The Mac forum guys  gave me some good advice but was wondering 
what you guys think.
