[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1684143, member: 182015"] PM G4 MDDs use Cable Select, not Master/Slave, by default. See pg 73 of the Apple Manual: [url]http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/desktops/PowerMacG4DualSU.PDF[/url] [B]Important[/B] Your Macintosh works with ATA and ATAPI internal storage devices that are set for cable select mode. Because cable select mode forces the drive to set its ID based upon its position on the cable, hard drives and optical drives are easily configured. Before you install an additional ATA and ATAPI drive, check the documentation that came with your drive or with the manufacturer to make sure it is set for cable select mode. [B]Important[/B] Use the original Apple cables that came with your Macintosh when you install additional drives. Some non-Apple cables may not correctly support cable select mode. [/QUOTE]
