Hi All; My G3 ROM and Mobo are Revision C. The production date is 12/22/1998. The HDD I want to install is a DSAA 350 MB IBM out of a Performa 638CD. I think the spindle speed is 4200 RPM which is slow compared to todays drives. The wiring hookup appears to be the same thing as the G3 with a 40 pin data cable and 4 wire power cable. Will this drive work on IDE bus 1 with the CD and if so should I run it as master or slave? Any and all replies greatly appreciated. BTW, Peter, you seem to be the man on G3's, where can I lay my hands on a repair manual for this machine? Beige G3 DT/266. --Thanks; Rev. George --Maranatha (means the Lord cometh)
