Chuck,

I remember Pentium III machines came from the USB 1.x era, not USB 2.0.
So likely your BIOS won't allow you to boot from a USB-anything port
using "mass storage devices".

However, if I remember correctly, BIOS of that era allowed (some, not
all) to boot from "USB floppy" and "USB CD" but you had to MANUALLY
get into the Bios (CMOS) setup screen and specifically select that....

Details are sketchy on my faulty organic based RAM aka brain cells....

If everything fails try this PLOP boot manager that supposedly allows
booting from USB even on systems whose BIOS lack that feature.

Hope this helps somehow...
