Hi Mick and all listers; I recently bought a Beige G3 266DT and was planning to add a second HDD on the second IDE bus with the CD since the double ended cable was already there. I was told by someone on the list, I think it was Peter H. but I may be wrong on that. He said it was best to leave the CD as Master and put the HDD as slave to stay as close as possible to stock configuration. Someone else said that the CD might not be bootable as a slave device. Check your jumpers, and if that checs out, put the CD back as Master and try that. BTW, according to System Profiler, the IDE Busses on my G3 are numbered ATA 0 and ATA 1, with the main HDD on ATA 0 and the CD on ATA 1 from the factory. I installes my second HDD on ATA 1 as Slave and it all works fine. P.S. I'm not nitpicking about the Bus numbers, just picking. ;-p --Thanks; Rev. George --Maranatha (means the Lord cometh)
