What is uncommon though, for Beige G3 desktop owners, is finding a 3 connection IDE cable that is long enough to work with a second drive. You can special order these from places, but you cant go to a CompUsa or store like that and pick up an IDE cable that will be long enough to hook up two drives. I was considering adding a second drive to my Mac, but my 20gig drive died on me, so I went ahead and bought a 40gb drive to replace it. I do not see me needing more that that. But then again, back when I had an SE, I got a 20mb external thinking I would never need more than that, well.. 20mb now adays is nothing :-)
===================================== Not without doing these things: 1 Purchasing what we call a "slave" cable. Or an IDE ribbon cable with three ports on it. 2 Setting the jumpers on the drive to SLAVE and confirming *IMPORTANT* that the jumpers on the original drive are to MASTER. That's it. Slave cables are very common. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
