There are a few revisions of the Beige G3 ROMS, some
will not allow you to
use the secondary IDE port for a HD or might have issues with HD size. I
think macs of that vintage don't work with cable select as an option on
drives. There are different versions of the OS 8/9 CDs that only work with
specific models of macs and then there are the retail versions that work
with anything.
[Nod] Yep, I know about most or all of that.
FTAOD:
I'm using a retail MacOS 9.0 CD.
It's the original Apple CD-ROM drive, primary on the 2nd controller,
with the Zip drive as secondary. I attached 2 different 8GB EIDE
disks, set as the master, as sole devices on the primary EIDE channel.
