I just received mine and I love it.

I was overjoyed to find that Apple did the boot code "Right". If you
power up the Mac and insert a systems disk into the external drive, you
will receive a "HAPPY MAC" on the screen for your efforts and a running
system!!!

Even better:

It appears that Apple did disk volume labels correctly, too! If you boot
on the external drive, eject the disk and insert it into the internal
drive, the system continues to run with no apparent problems!!!

HURRAY!!! 

			Cheers,     (for Apple!)
