[G4] Hard drive installation problem

that I did as a result, I had a major learning experience.  I learned  
that the technology of my mirrored door G4 represented a significant  
technical plug-and-play milestone by Apple toward rendering  
insignificant the master/slave jumper settings.  I also learned that  
the new serial ATA drives were manufactured to accommodate the new  
plug and play technology.  There seems to be a consensus of  
information that connections for drives mounted in the front tray  
make the G4 operate a little slower than the rear tray connections.   
Mine now seems a little slower.  My new question is this:  If I move  
the 750 GB Seagate, with the OS on it, from the front to the rear  
tray, and move one of the rear IBM drives in the rear tray to the  
front,  will my computer still recognize the Seagate as my startup  
disk, and boot up, or will there just be a smoky hole in the ground  
where my computer was?

Forget the master slave business. You should be able to use Cable Select on
that MDD. Set both drives to Cable Select. Much simpler.
