	Yes, you can do this.  Here's what you need to do:  (1) Set up the
external drive and make sure you're booting from this drive. (2) Take out the
internal drive and put the cables, screws, etc. in a safe place where you can
find them if you need them later. (3) Now, you'll need a SCSI ribbon cable
like the one that was in there originally.  Cut one end off of this cable and
put a fifty-pin Centronics SCSI connector on the cut end.  (4)  Buy a
Macintosh SCSI terminator and attach it to the Centronics connector on the
SCSI ribbon cable.  (5)  Now, attach the female fifty-pin end of the SCSI
ribbon cable to the double row SCSI pins on the mother board.  You can tape
this down to the empty space when the internal drive used to be.  This worked
for me, but I can't guaranty the results for anybody else.  Your machine should
boot from the external drive now without any problems.  I also hear that
you can buy an internal SCSI terminator so you don't need the contraption
described above, but I was unable to find anyone that sold them.  Hope it works
for you...
