Hello fellow listers; I just picked up a G3 a few days ago and have been playing with getting it going. Of course I run into an instant question that suggested joining this list. As I installed a hard drive tonite....then a second one, I find that it has the IDE (is that the correct identification?) connection AND the old SCSI cable connection available... so, since I have both kinds of drives, I had in mind to install one SCSI with 2 of the other ones. 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. Thanks in advance. Don
