Umax wasn't alone with the IDE controller one channel issue. The
Apple machines with IDE of that era had the same issues. This included
the 630 series 68K machines among others. It even includes the Beige G3
series version 1 and 2. The third and final version of the Beige G3
fixed this issue. Ready for a bit more trivia? It turns out it wasn't
really the cheap IDE controllers used by Apple and Umax. It is Mac OS
8 and 9 that limits the IDE to one channel. Any of these machines when
made to run OSX will work with 2 channel IDE! Boot into OS 9 and the
second drive disappears. Granted I only know one person running OSX on
a Umax c machine. However a number of Beige G3 series 1 and 2 owners
take advantage of being able to add that second drive for OSX use
without needing a PCI ATA/ide card. later Will S
Ah, that explains why I was having difficulty getting my Pioneer DVD-R to run with a Sonnet Tempo 133 in my S900. I had an 80GB hard drive attached as well. However, I did manage to get them both working together when I tried it in OSX. Figured it was a Sonnet card/DVD driver/OS9 issue, not the operating system itself.
Good call Will.
