Hi Peter and all listers; We've corresponded before Peter when I first got my G3. My G3 is a 266DT, full Rev 3 Rom and mobo. What kind of restrictions would keep Apple from providing such a cable? I've added a small HD on ATA bus 1 as slave, but may want to add another drive on ATA bus 0 at a later date. Am I asking for trouble by doing so? Please advise. I'm also posting this to the list for anyone else who may have the same concerns. TIA --Thanks; Rev. George --Maranatha (means the Lord cometh)
