I was led to believe that beige G3's with rev.1 Roms were not suppose to be able to support multiple drives?
I've got a spare 233 G3/DT here with a rev1 Rom (77D.4OF2) (The apple knowledge base page I just checked said it was Rev.1, so does the sticker inside the machine) Just for giggles, I decided to replace the ribbon connector with one that has multiple connectors and put a second drive on it. Id'd it as master w/slave, and set the cdrw as slave. Both drives came up and everything else seems to working properly (insert > pushed Cuda & zapped pram, reset clock :-) ). Is the Rev B or C required only if I want to use the main HD bus for multi drives? Can't really understand using that though since there's really not any room in the lower compartment (where the main HD is) for a second drive anyways and I'm not sure I could find a ribbon with connectors space far enough apart to go from the lower to upper compartments. Makes more sense to utilize the space above where the zip drive goes and to the left of the floppy. Why did I need that Rev B or C Rom?
