ahh actually no. I have a rev a gossamer and it came with a SCSI drive and no IDE drive at all. we later added a 40GB IDE drive, but when time came to put OSX on it we had to buy a 9GB SCSI drive because it would not work off of the IDE drive.

You might double check that. I also have a rev A G3 (bought the 266 G3/AV MT model brand new in 1997). It shipped with a 6GB IDE hard drive, ATAPI CD-ROM drive (different IDE channels, both masters), and SCSI zip drive. Some server and BTO models shipped with an ATTO or other re-branded SCSI card and a fast (for the time) Ultra2 SCSI hard drive, but ALL G3 models boot from IDE/ATAPI master devices just fine unless they are suffering from a hardware defect.

Peace,
