No. >> My second question is concerning the ROM. Will replacing my Rev A with a Rev B or C allow me to use a slave drive or will the motherboard prohibit this, as well? >> Yes. BTW, all 300 MHz Beiges were made as Rev. 2B (a very few) or Rev. 3C (most), so you machine really should have a Rev. C ROM. The limitation is all in the ROM, not in the mobo. Installing a Rev. B or C ROM in a Rev. a mobo will make that mobo support slaves. If it has a Rev. A ROM, as mine presently does, then someone changed it, as I did to mine. I don't run any EIDE/UATA hard drives on this machine, anyway. It is all UW-SCSI. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
