this isn't really "classic" per se,
but...
It's the classic Mac-IDE question.
And the answer is simple no.
I grabbed a performa 636cd, w/ a 500mb ide drive.
being curious i
ripped out the 1-connector ide cable and connected a 2-connector; the
mac ide quantum (which specifically says "apple" on it...) was set as
master, and i popped a seagate on as a slave. no boot unless i popped in
the mac disk tools. if i take off the 2nd ide drive, it boots. being a
total mac idiot, is it even possible to use a ATA ide drive on a mac? or
is there something else to this that i'm missing? any help would be
gratefully appreciated. thanks.
Yes_and_no to all questions. It's just that Apple only suports
one _one_ IDE drive. Almost any drive work correctly, but you
need third party setup software like HDT.
