Wow... Just my experience Glen.
I had a Rev. 1 B&W-300. Dropped the original 6.4 GB drive for a 60GB
and everything seemed to be just fine. Added a 120 GB drive and it
failed completely after 3 months. The replacement from Hitachi failed
after 'bout a month and a half. Left the 60 by itself and things were
okay for a while. THEN the =problems= started... first applications
under OS X (Panther) got a little quirky... quitting for no reason or
simply not starting. Next the OS started freaking out... Kernel
panics, locking up... only pulling the power cord could shut it down.
Multiple restarts were required to even get the machine running but
then opening most apps would lock it up again. Tried to reinstall,
but that mostly ended in a kernel panic.
During this time OS 9 was fairly stable, but unpredictable... apps
would =mostly= run, but sometimes not.
Got to the point, my baby sat unused for about 2 months till I got a
Rev. 2 motherboard. Been about two months now and my B&W has been
rock solid. Running 20 and 60GB internal drives and 40 and 250GB
firewires. Hasn't been a hiccup!!!
Hope there is another solution to your problem, but the Rev. 1 does
have issues with different drives!

This one's weird and got me stumped. I'm trying to install Panther
10.3 to an
empty IDE drive on ATA bus 1 on this B & W (see spec's below). The
OS X
install disk installs the core system but fails to ask for the
second disk needed
to complete the installation. It only says finished without asking
for the
second disk and then restarts to a kernel panic.
