    Can't boot from FireWire drive

    For a "project" I'm working on I'd like to install a copy of Mac OS onto my external FireWire HDD, and boot from it. I've done the first step, installing Mac OS, numerous times. I've tried Mac OS 9 (and yes, it has the Mac OS 9 drivers), 10.1, 10.3, and 10.5. On both my eMac and iMac G4. None of...

    Hi everyone, I'm currently working on restoring FireWire IP networking (`fw0`) between two iMacs, and I’ve hit a wall on the macOS Sequoia (14.0) side. I'm hoping someone here can help clarify whether what I'm attempting is still possible — and if so, how. --- ### 🖥 My setup: - **iMac 27"...

    Firewire DVD-ROM Emulator

    I figure this is a pretty long shot, and it doesn't even have to be a Mac app specifically, but I'm going to ask here anyway -- I am looking for a way to emulate a DVD-ROM that can mount a disc image (ISO, etc.) and present it over FireWire and it appear on another machine just as if I had...

    Hello, I was wondering, if I were to get a FireWire 400 hub, can I boot from things connected to it? I am asking because my iBook G4 only has one FireWire port and I wasn't sure if this is a viable solution. FireWire drives are pricey and I know that I can't boot from a drive connected to my USB...
