jumpers again
I want to thank all of you that offered your advice and wisdom regarding the jumper settings on my hard drives. I love this List! For the edification of others, here is what worked for me: I have 2 hard drives: Quantum Fireball (20 GB) and Seagate Barricuda (80 GB). I have the Quantum set to MASTER. I removed the jumpers on the Seagate as per OWC tech support. This sets the Seagate to Slave. The tech guy told me that after I have successfully booted the computer (BW upgraded to G4), I should forget about the jumpers and just use SystemPreferences/Startup Disk to tell the Mac what drive to boot from. Happily, I am up and running. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Master and slave are really not master per se nor slave per se. Both are peers (have the same priority) but have different identities (logical unit 0 and logical unit 1, for example). In the PCI card implementation of ATA, the two cables are divided up so that the drives appear as SCSI bus x, logical units 0 and 1, and logical units 2 and 3. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
