Extra HDD
Hello All, Moving on from my G5 problems ... a new question. I have an old but very functioning 6GB HDD that I would like to install in my G4 MDD DUAL 1.25 MHz / 2 GB RAM / 2 -120 GB and 1 - 200 GB HD / NETSCAPE 9.0.0.6 / OS X 10.5 I want to install OS 9.2 on it so that my son can still use some of the older MAC software. Any particular place or order to install in the case? Should the jumpers be set to MASTER or SLAVE since it will have an OS on it? General advice accepted!!

Any particular place or order to install in the case? Should the jumpers be set to MASTER or SLAVE since it will have an OS on it? I seem to recall there are places for 4 drives in my MDD. If you have just the original drive, then the choice is simple. Attach it to the already installed cable. Settings. Hmmm. I am foggy here, but I think the jumper should be cable select.

Master/Slave is a function of it's location in the 'Hardware Universe', NOT what is installed on the drive. Chuck D. General advice accepted!!

Master/Slave is a function of it's location in the 'Hardware Universe', NOT what is installed on the drive. Master and Slave are misnamed as these are really peers of each other. If there is only one drive, then it must be on the end of the cable, and it must be plugged as Master. If there are two drives, then either drive may be Master. Obviously the remaining drive must be Slave. These conventions have only partly to do with the normal functioning. During initialization and drive roll call, the special 80-wire/40- pin cable allows the IDE chip to interrogate the drives and set itself up for best possible performance of both drives. The drives, therefore, need not be in the same performance class, although that us usually a good practice. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups G3-5 List group.
