Let me start at the beginning for those who have not heard this sad tale
before.
They're called paragraph breaks son, learn to use them occasionally! ;-)
Bought a Beige 266 Mhz G3 off Ebay (final rev mobo). It came with
96 Mb of RAM and a Fujitsu 3.2 Gb HD with OS 9.2.2 installed. Came with a
standard sound card and I bought a Wings AV card for it. Meantime I
installed the mobo, drives and Wings card in a standard PC ATX case. Took
out the 3.2 Gb HD and installed a 20 Gb Maxtor HD. Installed OSX (10.2.8
after update) and more RAM (now 160 Mb). Seemed to work fine. Downloaded
and installed several programs which all seemed to work pretty well.
Then you went and fixed what wasn't broke :-P
Next
I tried the OSX HD all alone on the IDE cable and could not get it to boot.
Tried all kinds of different setups with one of the 2 drives which would boot
and the OSX drive, but at no time could I get the OSX drive to boot.
On a beige we had if the OSX drive was on the bus by itself, it had to be set to nothing on the master/slave/Cable select jumpers or the thing wouldn't boot.
Otherwise I'd look to the jumper settings, make the drive at the far end of the cable master, and the middle slave, try swapping busses, and finally take a good hard look at the pins on that OSX drive, with all the drive swapping it's possible you've bent or broken one of them.
