ok now i am very confused. ii went thru all the links that the author supplied and some say u can boot firewire, some say u cant.

also on lowendmac it says that the bnw cannot boot usb but it also says it can, and some people say so.

wot the hell is the deal? lost and totally confused.

thanks dhack. the link u gave me has the exact same article with the same author just with a different site.

but i never thought of updating the firmware.

i did tear out a serial card and usb card from an mdd lets be hopeful.

ok no firmwares for b&w

does not boot from sata card usb2 card nor internal firewire.  this hack does work.  it takes a long time tho, and better to tdm from a more powerfull mac then use it as tdm in b&w.

after that the b&w tdm loads a hair under the sata hard drive's speed.

it does not work with random drives tho.  u must make the registry recognize the drive that u have.

& thanks dhack for your suggestions
