One thing came to my mind as I was reading your collective posts, and I wasn't sure if anyone had brought it up: is this "Bad B&W" a Rev 1 or Rev 2 machine? Rev 1 machines have a bad IDE controller in them and cannot run large capacity drives or slaved drives without causing all sorts of lovely little hair-pulling errors. This page shows you how to identify which version of the chip you have:

Thanks Tony,
I "think" I have a Rev 2 machine. It is a G3/400, and it came with the stacker-style drive carrier and the two drive IDE cable. However, I did buy it used, and who knows what the previous owner did to it...so tonight I will double check the markings on the chip to be sure.
