My Beige G3 DT unexpectedly froze will starting up, and the next few restarts I tried had it starting up from the slave drive (IDE bus 1 master) instead of my master (IDE bus 0 master). Thought my master drive (Maxtor 40GB) might have gone south, as the system profiler indicated that the only device that was attached to bus 0 was my CD-RW drive (bus 0 slave). After removing my slave drive and switching my master in its place, the bootup was fine and everything seemed to be in good order. My question is whether this is due to a bad IDE cable. The problem of IDE cables being of a certain specification has come up on the list before, so I'm wondering whether my problem is due to using the wrong kind of cable.
