Partition benefits . . .

[simplsol at aol.com]

Jim,
I use a Firelite and Superduper to backup my PowerBook, OS 10.4.9, and 
I CAN boot from the Firelite (just retested to be sure - am writing 
this with the laptop powered by the OS on the Firelite).

Richard,
It appears that the 7200 rpm Firelite is not sold anymore.

 I have one also - beautiful product. 
 
 However, I use Superduper to back up with and the Firelite cannot 
 act as a boot drive. Works great otherwise. 
 
 Can you boot from yours Richard? 
 
 My main backup is an OWC Mercury - fantastic machine.
