This raises a question: My neighbour want's to add another HD to his 233Beige G3. SCSI HDs are too pricey and he can only have one IDE, unless he swaps his CD drive for a SCSI and uses it's ATA1 bus connection for his second IDE drive. I'm picking from the above figures he will get away with that apart from maybe having to use slightly longer cables to reach the various drives since they will swap sides. He doesn't have an internal Zip so there's a spare mount there. ~Ian O -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
