I just came into possesion of this drive. I would like to use it in my g4. I looked at the maxtor site for jumper settings...nothing like the way this was configured. This had the jumpers horizontal covering the rightmost pins in the upper row(three pins one blank) Is/was this right? What is the proper set up? Can I boot from this hd?
You do not need to set it either to Master or Slave. It will set itself as being either Master or Slave by which cable you connect from the G4. If you notice 2 IDE ribbon cables coming out from the controller, the edge connectors are painted black and grey. If your first drive is connected to one connector already, that's the Master. When you connect this new drive onto the 2nd connector with a different color (I can't seem to remember black or grey being slave - think grey is), it will automatically set the drive to be slave.
As for booting from this HD. Yes you can, assuming you install a bootable system. In my case, I have OSX 10.2.8 on my Barracuda and OS 9.2.2 on my Maxtor as the slave.
