>1) If I make the CD-RW a Master and the HD on the same bus a Slave, will I >be able to boot from the HD?
Yes. >2) Can a drive set to Slave be connected to the cable at the far end from >the card with the drive set to Master at the middle? Yes. >Does it depend on the cable? No. >3) What happens if I set both drives on a bus to Cable Select? Won't work. (Late machines ... post Power Computing ... use Cable Select, though). >4) Can I use my old ATA66 card (one bus on it works!) along with the >ATA133 card? Sure. You can have as many as four (4) UATA/EIDE cards in a machine. >BTW, is there an easy way to tell a newer 80-wire IDE cable from an older >40-wire one? Yes, the pitch of the 40-wire is 0.050". The pitch of the 80-wire is 0.025", same as the pitch of the 68-wire UW-SCSI cable. Also, the 40-wire is 28 ga, stranded. The gauge of the 80-wire and 68-wire is 30, solid. -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
