"slave drive" question - The PowerMac G3 233 uses the IDE standard for its internal hard drives. The primary drive is "master" and the secondary drive (if there is one) is "slave." This PowerMac also has an external SCSI port, which is separate from the internal IDE drive(s). Your external drives would go there, and should be bootable.
> Is there a PCI card available that would give me a USB port? Yes. Sonnet even has a combo card that provides USB, Firewire, and a faster IDE interface (too bad there isn't one for Nubus PowerMacs). You should post your questions on the other LEM list that is specifically for the "beige" PowerMac G3 series. - Ken -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
