If the system supports Cable Select, then use it. If in doubt, then just use the traditional Master/Slave set-up. Note that some drives support Master, Slave, and Master-Alone - the latter being a third setting (jumper). If not using CS, then always check for this. The drives that have that 3rd setting won't work reliably if just set them as Master then don't plug in a slave. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
