Hi,
According to Terry S, one has to be careful of the brand of IDE
card, Sonnet's, I think that's the one; is very Mac savvy, but hooking
up CD burners and Hard drives is a breeze, but beware of DVD drives.
Readers are mostly okay, but writers are not. I'm going to try out a
quite inexpensive CD/DVD Readers in my B/W G3 tomorrow, if the roads are
open <G>. BTW I had IDE type CDs & HDs in my StarMax as well as SCSIs &
they all worked fine.
TTFN,
TeeC
