I'm talking a beige G3 MT with two internal 16GB drives, one is the ATA

If you are using OS X, I would go for the SCSI assuming that SCSI card
is supported. No 8GB limit on the boot partition.
If you use an ata drive to run X on a beige, you need to partition the
disk so that the first partition is less than 8GB and that is where you
need to install OS X.
The other thing to consider is drive speed. If the ata drive tests out
as faster than the scsi, you might want to put up with the 8GB
partition as a trade off for speed.
