Apple began using Cable Select cables with the B&W G3, after it had licensed hp/Compaq's patent on cable select and the hardware in the host adapter which supports it. Cable Select involves cutting certain wires in the 40-pin/80-wire ribbon cable, and the, using three different types of connectors, each of which appears to be the same, but are internally different. With a Beige, Apple was not using Cable Select, it was using 40-pin/40-wire ribbon cables, so your best option is ... on Rev 2 or Rev 3 ROM machines (this won't work on Rev 1 ROM machines) ... to set one drive to Master and the other drive to Slave. It is customary for the farthest away drive to be Master, but this is not a real requirement as "masters" and "slaves" are really "peers". On a B&W or later, simply set both drives to Cable Select. Indeed, on a B&W and later, the Zip drive may be replaced by an additional hard drive, although the Zip drive carrier is drilled for M3 retention screws in a Zip pattern, and not for #6-32 UNC retention screws in a hard drive patterd. No matter, a hard drive may be installed in the Zip drive carrier without screws, if that suits you. -- -- 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.
