Re: Blue n' white G3 question

[Glenn Schunemann]

I have a G3 450. I bought the 450 cause I wanted the fastest version of 
the B&W. I am not disappointed in it. There is a problem with some of 
the G3s that support slave drives where the bus corrupts the drive. 
This was supposedly fixed in my ver of the G3, but I had that problem 
with my slave drives. I got around it by getting a PCI ATA controller 
card and have never looked back. See my sig block for full specs. I got 
it from an ISP in PA for $468 on ebay. It had no drives and the 
original SCSI card that was in it (it started life as a server) was 
MIA. I put my own drives in it.

I got some good info from these pages:

difference was between the rev. 1 and rev. 2 models. I've read that
rev. 2 is preferable, but why?
Thanks for any input.
