You can support four total drives of (almost) any type, and all hard drives, including SOME but not all demountable hard drives, will be bootable. A full-blown (from the factory) G3/266 DT includes: 1) standard hard drive, EIDE Bus 0, Master, 2) standard CD-ROM drive, EIDE Bus 1, Master, and 3) optional Zip drive, EIDE Bus 1, Slave. Because of certain restrictions, Apple does not provide a cable which supports BOTH Bus 0 Master and Bus 0 Slave. Such cables are often available on eBay. Look for description "Beige G3 Master/Slave Hard Drive Upgrade". If the CD-ROM is replaced by certain Panasonic EIDE CD-R/Ws (the model numbers escape me right now), then the CD-R/W will also be bootable, and usable for almost all applications, including, but not limited to AppleCD Audio Player, and Toast. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
