I've had similar trouble, which I mentioned on this list in the past. The PowerMac is finicky about USB sticks. It seems that it does work with U3 drives and other newer drives. I was only able to boot from one older 2 GB drive that has since burned out, so I'm unable to upgrade at the moment, given that my optical drive can't read DVDs. If you can find a USB stick the same vintage as the PowerMac, your luck might change. JB On 3/7/21 10:18 PM, Julio Merino wrote: > However, here is where the strangeness starts.
