Everything is not the same in all MAC's!



That's 'cos each MAC is supposed to be almost unique :). At least Mac's look mostly alike.

About ATA/IDE and Apple:

Wasn't the issue with the B/W G3s (and other models) not supporting slave drives real? I thought they cheaped out on the IDE controller for the first few years, and you could not successfully have both master and slave on one bus, even though the full standard supported it. And that support for true MS/slave IDE was comparatively recent.

I thought it was real, but googling to document it for this thread came up with a site that said it wasn't a real issue.

Sure seemed like a real issue at the time...
