Perhaps installed OS X? Sometimes installing OS X on Beige G3s makes an IDE bus vanish. Zapping the PRAM for ten times in a row brings back lost IDE busses. Also IIRC the CD bus (ATA1) is slower than the IDE bus used for HDs. I believe ATA1 is ATA16.67 and the other ATA33. -- "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
