I've got 40 or 50 Macally PHR-250CC enclosures (These fit a ATA-6 drive & have FW400 and USB 2.0 interfaces). These have been superseded with PHRS-250cc, which fit SATA drives. We mainly use them for data backup, but I also used to rely on a few for bootable "save-your-behind" machine clones.
I haven't been able to get these newer enclosures to boot Intel Macs (or the older ones either) using either interface. I've formatted the drives in GUID, using either SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner - cloned systems. I had previously enjoyed 3 years of being able to boot these external drives with FW400 to (10.4.11) G4 PPC or G5PPC Macs. Am I being thick, or are there other 2.5" enclosures that I should be using? Or is it the end of bootable mobile drive backups and I just haven't picked up on the fact?
I'd like to boot 10.5.8 or 10.6 Intel MacBookPro and iMac machines.
