Hi. Has anybody switched out their motherboards on the BW G3's to correct the flaw with the Rev 1's?
Is it difficult and all Thanks >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/10/04 10:28AM >>> You *can* add a slave drive to a Rev 1 under OS X--the system slows both drives down to accommodate the problems the controller has with such configurations. This is hardly ideal, however. As I recall from various discussions on this subject, it isn't so much the size of the drive as the make. Perhaps people on the list can recommend drives based on their own experiences.
