Not sure if you should have set the ATA drive to slave. (If I'm reading
that correctly in your message.) If you did, set it to master and try it.
I recently did just the opposite installing a SCSI drive in a G3 as a
second drive leaving the ATA drive as the primary boot drive and the
SCSI drive as just extra HD space. In two out of the three of the G3s
everything went smooth just connecting the SCSI drive in on the same
SCSI chain that the internal zip was on. One however would not
automatically mount the SCSI upon startup. These were all G3s with the
same OS and the same HDs. I finally put SCSI probe in the Control
Panels and it mounted the drive upon startup.
So I guess the long and short of it is you do what works. Since this is
the first ATA hard drive in the system it is the master.
