It's usually set up with the boot drive as master and the other as slave, but it doesn't really make that much difference because the Mac can boot off either. What I do with three drives is put X on the master and use the slave as a data drive. In place of my Zip on the other bus, I have the original 30G drive that came with the machine. It contains Mac OS 9 and other rarely used items. None of the drives are partitioned. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 27.
