You don't need to have the largest capacity drive set to 0. I believe this is recommended because larger drives are generally newer, which means they should be faster. Usually the drive with an ID of 0 is usually the boot drive (that's how they come from Apple) and you'd want the boot drive to be fastest. Of course, we all know the boot drive is really the one with the 'Blessed' system folder.
The CD-Rom is usually NOT terminated. I've never seen one terminated from the factory, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That explains why you can swap in and out drives, because they don't have termination either. Someone on the list here, keeps saying CD-Roms are terminated. They aren't. They can be IF they are moved to the end of the SCSI chain, and termination removed from all other devices on the chain. If you, or anyone else finds a PowerMac with the CD-Rom terminated from the factory, please send me details, and pics of the termination part of the CD-Rom. STeve << If there are two hard drives specified in a unit's configuration, the higher capacity drive should be set to ID 0, the other drive should be set to ID 1. Since the CD-ROM is terminated, neither hard drive should be terminated. But why, now that I've removed the CD from the center bay on my 660AV, can I keep casually plugging various HD's in there, after having set the ID correctly but not bothered with termination? >> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
