Thank you Dave for your quick answer (do you actually have a life ?)
So to paraphrase you - you are saying : an IntelMac "you mean:CLONE" can boot from Apple Partition Map (APM) external drives. right ? (even if said partition was cut by DiskUtility under Panther?) Now I am totally confused by your advice: Just don't try to boot the Intel Mac from a Power PC based OS, or vice versa.... The bootable clones (eMac-clone + Macbook-clone) I would create with SD (the eMac Panther is already working fine) are only for security in case I lose the originals and need to clone them back to their native hardware, as my firewire cable will be connecting only eMac with ext HDD or only MacBook with ext HDD.never the 3 together. So yes I would reboot from HDD eMac clone to SD clone it back to eMac or I would reboot from HDD MacBook clone to SD clone it back to MB. How would you rephrase your advice above using the (numbers) ? I will have eMac(1) I will have MacBook(2) I will have eMac clone on ext HDD(3) I will have MacBook clone on ext HDD(4) many thanks to enlighten me this Intel shift is daunting and scary cheers |

There are a lot of numbers in there, and questions, but the answer in the end is simple. It doesn't matter what partitioned the drive, Panther is fine.
If you make a copy of an Intel Mac on a partition, only an Intel Mac can boot from that partition. Other partitions on the same drive can host copies from Power PC based Macs. But a copy of a Power PC based Mac cannot be used to boot an Intel Mac. It sounds like you understand that, so you're in good shape.

I understand your concern, of course. But, with a modicum of care, I think you'll have a good experience doing this. Good luck!
