I need information about the hard drives in a PCI Macintosh. If I put another SCSI hard drive in my 7600/G3 (using a separate id number) does the computer treat either hard drive differently? If there is an external hard drive too, where does it stand in the heirarchy of the computer? I understand that only one of these can be the startup drive, but what is the effect of that?

the 7600 has 2 separate scsi chains, you can attach 7 devices/drives to each one, the external scsi drives are on one of the chains and the internal on the other, (you can also switch the socket so that the internal will be on the external chain, but that won't do much good, since the external i a bit slower)the computer starts as default with id 0. unless you choose another drive in the startup controlpanel.
