[G4] Re: G4] Master vs Slave HDs & OSX

[Ron Steinke]

In addition to making the switch described by John, I suggest 
installing OS-9 on the larger drive to insure having it available for 
any Classic application/software that you might use.

If the smaller drive goes west on you, you will still have both the 
OSes available on the larger and can continue your work without 
interruption.
