There are two IDE "channels" on the Starmax motherboard. Each can handle one drive, at least under 9. I have heard rumblings that they can each handle two drives under X. For the purpose of transferring files maybe you could disconnect the cd drives temporarily to free up another channel. That is assuming that the cd drives are IDE. I am guessing that one is SCSI or that you have an additional IDE card installed. If the latter is the case, you can probably find a combination to use all the drives at once. The IDE card if extant should also have two channels and, I think, will handle two drives per channel ala windoze machines. You may have to jumper the drives as slave and master or cable select to get them to coexist peacefully on the same channel. I was under the impression that 9.1 was available from Apple as a free download. Good luck redsilo
