Is it a mistake to have two optical drives in this unit? When I got  
the Superdrive, I just put the original CD/RW in the bottom bay. Just  
don't know how to access it yet.

It just very well could be if you haven't set the identification  
jumpers correctly. One has to be the "Master" and the other the  
"Slave" or you might get identification conflicts that prevent you  
from booting.

It doesn't matter which drive you install the OS software on, as long  
as you designate that drive as the "Start-up" drive using the start- 
up drive preference in OS-X or the start-up drive control panel in OS-9.

One thing I haven't read in your postings is whether or not you have  
installed OS-9 and done a firmware update. Part of your problems may  
originate with the version of firmware you have installed.
