According to my PowerMacG4SU.pdf manual (which you can download from Apples site), the drives may need to be set as Cable Select, and not Master/Slave, as long as you have an Apple Cable Select cable (its the short one that appears to have a slice cut out about an 1/8 inch long, 1 wire wide). From the manual: Installing Ultra ATA Drives Your Macintosh can accommodate two internal 1-inch-high ATA devices in the U-shaped drive carrier in drive position 3 in the computer. If your computer has one Ultra ATA device, it sits in the lower portion of this U-shaped drive carrier. You can install a second ATA device in the upper part of the carrier. Note: Contact your device manufacturer or consult the manufacturer’s website to determine if your device is set for cable select mode. Before installation, set the device to cable select mode if the manufacturer hasn’t already done so. Maybe that's the problem ... Disclaimer: Not a Guru here ... just a friendly Guesser ...
