device. For optimal performance using the Ultra2 LVD SCSI

card that supports the device.

 

The Power Macintosh G3/Macintosh Server G3 (Blue and 

White) supports a maximum of three internal hard drives. 

Supported drives include:

• ATA devices (includes ATA, ATA-2, and ATA-3 devices,

• Wide Ultra SCSI devices (with the PCI card included in 

some configurations)

• Ultra2 LVD SCSI devices (with the PCI card included in 

some configurations)
