Yokemate of Keyboards

I just finished adding some hardware to my Quicksilver Powermac.
I purchased a surplus APS external SCSI drive housing from a vendor on Ebay.
Originally it housed an 18GB drive which I've replace with a 75GB 15K RPM Ultra320 drive using an 80 pin drive adapter.
The drive connects to the original power and controller cables of the housing and I have the whole thing connected to an SCSI controller in my Mac.
Now when I have the drive powered, the system can boot OSX (quite fast).
And when its not powered, the system boots MorphOS from the internal ATA100 drive.
