This sounds like a jumper or cable issue to me. Some people report that "cable select" setting works on QS, but Apple says cable select setting begins with the MDD. You could try cable select for BOTH devices on the bus, or make certain the one device is Master and one is Slave. I've never heard of a "special setting" for Slave that involves two jumpers? I've never seen any HD that involves two jumpers in normal operation. Normally a 2nd jumper either restricts a HD to lower capacity or speed. > Also, I plugged a USB Flash drive into the ports on my KB but it says > there is not enough power available.

My keyboard port gives the same warning, but I sometimes ignore it and haven't had any problems yet, knock on wood. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

HD Question
Ok, I want to add another (3rd) HD to my new QS
I added one and it works fine.
I stuck one on the same cable (bus) as the Super Drive and I can see
it when i is set as Slave using one jumper (with System Profiler) but
I cannot format it using Disk Utility as Disk Utility doesn't see it.
I tried the Special Setting for Slave (using 2 jumpers) but this
doesn't work either.
So, what do I need to do here?
Also, I plugged a USB Flash drive into the ports on my KB but it says
there is not enough power available. Are these ports usable for Flash
Drives?

Re: HD Question
Look at the rear of the drives. Then look here: http://www.ufsexplorer.com/inf_connect_hdd.php Given the apparent age of the drives in question (a fast Google lookup shows none of 'em as "currently available", hence they're older drives and not currently in production) I'd say it's dang near a certainty that at least the Samsung and the WD's are PATA. With no manufacturer mentioned on the generic, you'll have to verify that by looking at the connectors.

Basically any relatively modern HD (Probably more than a few megabytes, and definitely anything over 1 GB) that has a 40 pin connector will work for you. You do have a 120GB limit without a lot of futzing around.

HD Question
My spare HDs
===
Generic 120.0 GB 7200 RPM
Samsung SP0802N (S/N S00JJ40Y371416) -> Listed on it as "probably
bad" but I'd still check it out
WD Caviar 22500 AT Compatible Intelligent Drive
WD Caviar 12100 EIDE
Are these PATA HDs?
I want to buy a G4 from someone and he said they will work if they are
PATA HDs (I want to add them to the G4)
