The only other place you can put hard drives in this machine is at the back in another two drive carrier adjacent to the ATA100 header on the MB. I had one IDE drive and one SCSI drive there. With just those two together everything was peachy. I am going to look for a longer IDE cable and see if I an route it up to the front to put two drives in that front carrier onto the ATA100 bus and just not use the second header on the ATA66 bus. Maybe things will work better then. Still, what happened is pretty mysterious, don't you think?
Doesn't Apple treat IDE channel drives, as if they were SCSI in some sense? I thought they did for a while ... maybe this might explain the mystery or SCSI voodoo, as it is called ... and, then again, maybe not.
I would leave the hard drive off of the ATA66 bus, and leave that for the DVD drive only. Just my feeling.
