It works fine in the Beige....but will not boot the B&W. Isn't ATA the same as IDE? > >Does another drive work in the B&W? Have you checked master/slave >settings? Yes. I have a Western Digital in the B&W that works fine. I called Apple about the jumper settings, and they told me to use CS instead of Master. The B&W seems to like this setting, but if I install the Quantum in addition to the WD, the B&W will not boot regardless of what jumper settings I select. > >Is it a first gen B&W and you're trying to make the Beige G3 drive a >slave? (The first gen B&W only supported one drive on their IDE bus, >due to a bug on the motherboard) The B&W that I have is a 450 mhz model, so I am pretty sure that it is not a first gen. I have firewire on the Beige via a PCI card, but the B&W and the Beige can't get together via firewire. I thought I could solve the problem via the Migration Assistant, but NO GO.
