Hi Firstly I have a G4 dual 800, running dp4.52, grageband and bfd.... I obviously use my mac for recoarding but I also use it for general duties, like internet and Imovie and stuff... My question is How many hard drive an I put in my mac, I have one for my operating system and one for my audio and samples, but I want to add a third so I can boot up a stripped down system with only the items and extensions I eed for audio, and have another drive that boots up with standard panther. Does anyone know if it is possible to do this? Any ideas would be appreciated... thanx JASON

I have 8 drives (volumes, partitions) on my Mac and it's working fine for me.
Hard drive 1:
WORKSPACE (outer, faster layer used for current projects)
SOUND LIBRARY (samples)
DATA (long term storage)
MUSIC SYSTEM CLONE (bootable back-up)
Hard drive 2:
MUSIC SYSTEM (music apps pnly, no internet, no firewall)
INTERNET SYSTEM (no music apps)
STORAGE (empty)
i-tunes LIBRARY (mp3s only)
In that order.
I'm not sure exactly what your question is but I hope this layout is useful.

There's room for 4 ide/harddrive enclousures inside the Mac-box.
Of course you could swap the ide-drives for scsi-drives if you
put a scsi-card inside the box.
You could also add a bunch of external drives scsi - or - ide
depending on what kind of pci-card you put inside the box.

bung one in under the superdrive slot, there's an ide and power socket there, jumper it as a slave. It's quite snug there but I've done this heaps of times with no problems, just make sure you isolate the unserneath of the drive with some card or something
