Next message: Tom Roth: "Re: [WinMac] automount Mac SCSI HD"
They may be identical computers, but there were some changes in motherboards
between some Beige G3 mini-towers and desktops that effect the whole second
hard drive issue. The older motherboards did not have a second IDE
connection and did not support additional drives I believe. One thing you
could try is to reset the mother board using the CUDA switch. It is a
little red dot of a switch that you press. This is like zapping p-ram so
you will have to go in and reset the date and time and stuff like that,
however what it does do is have the motherboard re-scan itself to discover
electronics and stuff like that. Give that a try.
