I booted off my USb Zip Drive once... :rolleyes:

It's possible to boot from USB 1.1, but your computer will not be at it's best, suffice it to say.

Running of a ZIP disk is like editing a movie on a USB drive.

How did you do that? I think I tried that that once, but when I held down option at startup, it didn't find the disk, since the computer can't automatically recognize Zip drives without first loading drivers from the boot disk...right?

I booted off a CD and selected the ZIP disk in the Startup Disk control panel.
