Hey all. I've received a G4 450 DP with an AGP card and two disc drives. It has a smaller drive (20gb) that has OS X 10.1 on it, and it boots fine from it. On the second drive (about 160gb?), aptly named, "mac drive," had OS 9.2.2 installed. For fun, I switched some logical indicator, and it now boots from "mac drive," bypassing the 20gb drive altogether. It, for all intents and purposes, seems to be an actual 9.2.2 machine, now.
I'd like to change the 20gb drive for something that is more substantial - I have a second 360ish gb eide drive, here, and while I understand that it will need to be partitioned into smaller volumes for OS 9.2.2 to recognize, what other things should I be looking for? If I hook it up, will it let me know that I'm a dumb-ass and need to format it before use?
The next question: I'd like to install a cd-r/w. It has a zip drive and a cd-rom, so which brand of internal works best with these? Do I need to find an apple approved (and hence borderline unobtainium) approved cd drive, or will something like an M-Drive be OK? No blue ray, just need it for stereo music tracks.
Thanks a lot, all!
