What is the difference with Rev 1 and 2 with respect to HDs? I have 2 Rev 2 units and both I think have a 1 single and 2 dual HD trays (for 5 total) plus the cdrom and zip drive ba…

I did that some time back. Used three 10gb drives raided. Wayne

The forum user Aoresteen had been also been able to do this in his Rev 1 B&W; he hasn't posted in a while though.

Yes, I've finally done it. I've had 2 drives running flawlessly in my 1st B&W G3 for many years now, so today I decided to try and get 3 running in my #2 G3. Specs are ve…
