Are there any caveats in running only ATA drives in legacy macs and clones ?
The original Western Digital 4.6 gb 7200 RPM SCSI drive still occupies address 0 in the s900. However, it is hardly ever used. The first 2 gb partition on a Seagate UW drive has been my startup volume for several years. The Initio Miles UW card is in slot 1 but I can't remember what the SCSI address is for the drive. I never had to mess with the address pin settings, nor did I have to deal with termination. Same thing with the ATA card and drive that were installed - plug and play. The question is.... Is the "Address 0" necessary if I eliminate SCSI drives ? There would be only ATA drives for internal storage. I am looking to use only ATA in a 7500 as well as maybe a second s900.
