Can I boot my “Year 2000 Model” Power Macintosh G4 or PowerBook from my Fantom FireWire Hard Disk Drive?
In January of 2000, Apple Computer introduced new models of its Power Macintosh and PowerBook line that support booting from FireWire devices. New features need to be added to the formatting software that was shipped with your drive in order to take advantage of this capability. Fantom Drives will post an update on our website when a new version is available. Apple has not stated if FireWire bootability capabilities will be added to older Power Macintosh computers or PowerBooks. At this time, it is not possible to boot from a FireWire device on these machines.
