Cube + old FireWire 400 Companion Iomega Drive + OWC SATA enclosure chained with FW400-FW800 cable.

Only role of the the Iomega so far is to make the OWC enclosure +SSD work reliably on the Cube. It provides sufficient FireWire power I guess.

Now can boot Sorbet Leopard from FireWire SSD and Classic Mac OS 9.22 from internal IDE drive (fast enough really).

Also discovering hotline which I never used back in the days. Is it archeology or piracy ?

When I boot an old Mac from its internal "spinning rust" drive, I get the vibes that it has an SSD β€” simply because having bazillion things running in the background simply wasn't common back in the days, so starting them up didn't take forever πŸ˜‚
