Well, the C's don't think their IDE is SCSI. I guess the clearest demonstration of this is that whatever you inflict on a C's SCSI bus won't (shouldn't) have any impact on its ability to access the lone IDE volume. They identify it as an internal bus which they distinctly recognize as "not SCSI" -- but what they DO identify it as, I can't quite recall. The C-series IDE controller was only supposed to be able to recognize one IDE device, not a primary and a master, and that was that. The J710, on the other hand, based on the Tanzania-2 architecture and closer to a Power Mac 4400 than anything else, had a strictly IDE internal bus; both the HD and CD-ROM were IDE. It still recognized the SCSI bus as something distinct and separate. -Kennedy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
