B&W's seem to be flaky about what IDE hard drives you use. I tried to put a brand new Samsung SV8012H 40 gig in my B&W and the OS 9 install kept crashing. It would even give me problems initializing.
I also had a 30 gig maxtor (7200rpm) on hand, put that in, everything is fine. The 40 gig Samsung is fine in Beige G3's, I've put several of them in Beige's w/o problems.
