Data Buses - 18

 

devices to the EIDE bus.

If you are connecting a single device to the EIDE bus, you 

should use the J9 connector (the one closer to the rear 

panel). If you plug a single device into the J10 EIDE 

connector and leave J9 empty, the device may not boot.  

However, if the system is booting from a device that has the 

Apple CD-ROM driver v 5.4.1 or later installed, you can 

connect a single CD-ROM drive to either the J9 or J10 

connector, and the system will recognize it.

If the Power Macintosh G3 Minitower ships with two EIDE 

devices (a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive and an ATA hard 

drive), both EIDE connectors (J9 and J10) will be 

automatically used. Service Providers should keep the J9 vs. 

J10 issue in mind, however, when testing G3 Minitower 

units.
