The ability to boot a Mac from FireWire is most useful when you’re experiencing problems with your Mac and need to run system diagnostics, or simply access the system but cannot do so through the computer itself. Purchase a FireWire flash drive or a hard drive with a FireWire interface and the appropriate connector cable, and then install a Mac operating system to allow the Mac computer to boot from that FireWire device. You can also use another Macintosh computer as a FireWire drive, provided that it has the appropriate FireWire connector. | The ability to boot a Mac from FireWire is most useful when you’re experiencing problems with your Mac and need to run system diagnostics, or simply access the system but cannot do so through the computer itself.
