[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 818012, member: 42497"] Depends what you want to do with the external. The eMac is a PowerPC (PPC) model and if you want the external drive to be bootable and keep a backup OS on it, then yes Firewire is the way to go and the drive will be bootable if formatted in Apple Partition Map and then OS Extended (Journaled). PPC models generally will not boot from USB, even USB2. [/QUOTE]
