SCSI ID question

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
