Hi Dominic, I am presuming you have a rev. 2 beige G3? (which can recognize two HDs on the same primary ATA bus), which would mean you want to chain the JAZ drive with the CD-ROM (if this is not accurate, correct it so we have a better idea of your system). In either case, one of the devices must be set to master, and the other to slave - traditionally in Macs, the CD-ROM is the master and the removable media drive is set to slave - the other caveat is that the master device must be at the end of the cable, with the slave in the middle port/socket on the cable (the board's host port is the other end of the cable).
Perhaps this is helpful; if not give more info. Please. Best regards, Dana On 1/6/06 8:28 PM, Dominic F. Manno of [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent > I have a beige G3 that I bought used.
