[G4] SCSI ID question (G3)

[zhmmy harper]

I fished out a scsi cable and installed it ...then thought better of
installing too many unidentified ID's at once.
After popping two of the newer drives in and starting up, (Thinking I had
successfully changed a scsi id) I decided I better ask here for someone
to straighten me out on if that still applies to the different newer
drives.
Also, the profiler said one drive was on ata 1 and the other on ata 0.
Both had ID 0, and I don't know of that is allowable on that machine so I
shut it down to await clarification of what is 'doable' safely.

*Always* do thorough research and know exactly what ID you have on each 
drive.  Never just pop in any old drive.

I have a beige desktop 266 that I maxed out on RAM and VRAM, added a USB and 
a Firewire card and ATI Video card, installed OS 9.2.1, ATM Deluxe and 
Quicktime 6.0 Pro, etc.  You can install Jaguar and even Panther on these 
but I found OS 9.2.1 to be more stable and it runs faster than X on this 
machine.  I feel sometimes that the G3 is quicker than my G4 450.

That said, to your main question:
I installed a SCSI drive in the same place you did.  Then I added another 
SCSI drive by removing the unnecessary Floppy drive.  There are bezels 
available to cover the floppy slot or just leave it in there.

The IDs are:  ATA 0--ID 0 (4 Gig); ATA 1--ID 0 (CD); SCSI Bus 0--ID 0 (4 
Gig);
SCSI Bus 1--ID 1 (9 Gig).  I use the 9 Gig SCSI for my Startup Drive.

I'm sure that some will say you can't do this (17 Gigs) but this G3 is set 
up exactly that way.  Hope this helps.
