[quote Paul F.]THAT"s that damn tech info library document!
Me and Apple's "search" in the tech info don't get along so good
I don't think it is your "Mad Search SkilZ" PaulF, it seems that Apple is weighting their pre-OSX stuff differently lately, I have done some OS9 searches using exact wording and the document doesn't show up, but I put in the Apple document number and it pops right up. Thank the lords that I still keep notes!

Did they leave USB bootability active in the follow-ons to the AGP PowerMacs such as the DA or QS models? I have a DA, but not bootable USB device at the moment to test with. More just interested in kowing if it is possible.

You have the hardware, test it.

Here's a hint, No.

No Bootable USB device, so can't try it without one. Plenty of Firewire devices though. Last Zip drive I ever got was IDE, and all the rest were SCSI. With the hint, won't bother trying to scrounge up something USB and bootable.
