You need a Sonnet Tempo ATA PCI card to run additional drives (4 connections on the card) in a B/W rev. 1, G3. I have this model G3 with 2-40 GB IBM DeskStar drives besides the OEM 9 GB HD. Trying a second IDE drive in rev. 1 G3's gives problems. See this "DO-IT-YOURSELF SECOND HARD DISK INSTALLATION" site for rev. 1 B/W G3 <http://homepage.mac.com/kevinvh/G3_HD_Inst.html> . This site <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3-ZONE/yosemite/newfeatures.html> has how to do it with photos to help. The rev. 1 B/W G3 has FireWire that is a known high failure rev. 1 feature so if you have flakey FireWire failures, don't blame the device such as CD burner with odd behavior. It might be the FireWire. OTOH your FireWire may be OK and work flawlessly for the life of the G3. Good luck.
