That is very close to how I have my S900. XLR8 G3/300 1x SCSI 500MB HD (OS 9.2.2 w/hack) 1x 700MB IDE (On Sonnet Tempo ATA/66 card, has OS 9.2.2 for classic) 1x 20GB IDE (OS X.2.3) 400MB RAM slot 1 - Tempo ATA Card slot 2 - IMS TT128 (man I need a new card) Slot 3 - iogear USB 2.0 card
Smart move getting the separate USB and Firewire cards. The combo type have problems with the lower slots, not an issue with the individual cards though. I'd just put your Orion card where I have my TT128 and stick the Firewire card below the USB card. I don't think you'll have any problems. -Robyn On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 02:28 PM, Peter R.
