to something else. The converters
show up from time to time on ebay, and about any wide to wide will
work. HVD never got into the really
exotic transfer rates, so pretty dumb SE wide drives will work as far as
the HVD is concerned.
I won't claim your buddy is wrong, but I don't think I'd take his
word for it. I know my C160 will boot from tape or from CDROM on the SE
chain, so I see no reason it wouldn't boot from an SE disk drive.
