Possibly relevant. During a boot sequence where I want it to go to the
USB drive, it instead only offers to connect to Wifi. Real PITA. IIRC
I can leave it like that for a couple minutes then it sees the new SSD
drive but not the USB attached drive.

Back then? I don't recall. My Mac HD is currently APFS - and I have no
idea how/when it got changed from HFS+ ... I did do a clean install
back a few years but was pretty sure it was pre APFS.

I suspect strongly it's fusion since repairs to the volume come up "ok"
but the same error (above) keeps returning. If there were some simple
way to disable Fusion I'd do that. Won't be needing it.
Is it soldered to the logic board?
