Mr.Gosh Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hey guys, is it on an osx86 also possible to install it on an external Harddrive, like on a real mac? Is it than possible to use that on different x86 machines? How do I boot such a system? Thanks!

Ichijoe Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Short answer: YES! Longer answer: You'd have to have a PC that would allow you to boot-up from an IEEE1394-A (e.g. Firewire-400), device, and that's the rub. There aren't that many that could, as everyone knows USBx.x pretty much won that war. I use the iPod as the best example of this IEEE1394-A > USBx.x, I shudder sometimes just thinking how cool it would have been to have had a 1394B (Firewire 800), version iPod @800MB/s. There were People who uset to swipe OSX from the Shops (making ~or taking~ an Disc Image Copy), of OSX with just there iPod's. But i wouldn't recommend trying to using an iPod as an External HDD as you'll likely kill the Drive off that way...
