Maybe you can give this a try - all the newer IDE drives (those from the last few years) have a third switch, other than Master and Slave (I don't remember what it is called, unfortunately) that basically says - I'll let the computer figure it out. I would suggest configuring your drives to that setting and give it a try. I have 2 IDE drives in my Mac - none of them are apple drive, and I don't have a problem mounting both. I have one of the earlier G4 and I run Panther and OS9.2.2 in a dual boot situation and both OS have no problem seeing the drives.
