Sorry about that, but I just added to the string. It looks like Ron S wrote it I guess I should have gone back to the original Ron S e-mail Below is the full e-mail as posted on my system that I Replied to: Somehow the Ron S line got lost!

No go, they just said that it works with the drives that originally came with the machines, which means up to 12G. Now off the record, I was told that the big problem was when trying to do a master/slave thing, NOT upgrading to a larger drive. I've got a Rev. 1 box, I'm going to try a WD 80G drive in it, if it doesn't work well, I'll stick the drive in a FW case rather than buy a controller card. That way the drive is portable, and I don't loose anything when selling to old machine (I'll keep the 80G). RonS p.s. Out of curiosity, there used to be an IDE card made by VST that sold for around $50 at OWC, but they no longer carry it. Anyone know what happened, and where to get a cheap card if I did want to go that route? The Rev. 1 Motherboard has problems with the IDE controller, so any HD except the one that came with it will cause the problems you're having. You MUST get an ATA card to use a bigger HD, so look for a cheaper ATA/33 or ATA/66. I don't know about cheap boards but I put the Sonnet Tempo board in my rev. 1 G3 and now have 2 -40 GB IBM drives from that card OK. Had to get the Adaptec FireWire card to replace the dead FireWire of a rev 1 machine. Now everything is rock sold on OS 10.1.2.3. Eric albert -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
