The Subject stated "G3, 266 mhz tower", and most of those were made with Rev 1 ROMs, which only support Masters, and possibly only 128 GB. A Rev 2 or 3 ROM will support Slaves, of course. It has been a LONG time that I have had my Beige powered-on, but a 300 MHz pretty much required a Rev 2 ROM, and the Rev 3 ROM was released because it cured issues with certain video cards and the Rev 2 ROM. In any case, the beige used DMA mode, and it was the UATA in the Blue and White which got into trouble with greater than 128 MB drives, until the UATA chip was fixed. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
