To give you an idea of what you can do, here is my Beige G3s MT current
set up
ATA channel 1 has a 40GB ata drive partitioned into an 8G main with
system and most apps and 32G for storing documents and stuff. This is
in the bay above the HD. I could pull the floppy and put a HD in it's
place, but I would need to get a extra long ata cable to reach.
ATA channel 2 has a DVD/CDRW combo drive as master and a CD as slave.
The onboard SCSI has a 9G SCA SCSI drive with 5 partitions, a holdover
from my 6100. These hold various apps, system 9 and other stuff (a
virtual pc and Be os partitions that are not used except for storage).
My beige's other specs are a 533 G4, 576MB ram, generic USB card and a
flashed Radeon 7000 with a rev 2 rom. Running 10.2.8 with the hack to
enable Quartz Extreme.

Which bay holds the SCA drive? I hear they tend to run hot. The 1 over
the
power supply is usually cited as the default place they put the "main"
drive in a G3 MT. Seems a counter-intuitive place, as far as cooling
goes,
to me. Is it better than in the "stack" of 5.25"-capable slots in
front,
to put 1 of those hotties?
Sorry, I was typing fast. The main 40G ata drive is over the power
supply. The SCSI drive is in the middle of the three 5.25 drive bays
with the CDs on the top and bottom of it. I have had no problems with
the drive over the power supply.
