stevenehrbarThe original 9 GB SCSI drive is being used for boot/root. A 13 GB IDE drive is in the Zip bay, sharing an IDE channel with the DVD-ROM. Then there's a 4 GB IDE drive on the other IDE channel, on the second hard drive tray position, set as /Swap (which is probably more swap than I need, but . . .).
It's not quite an ideal setup, but the best that could be done using drives and cables I already had on hand. For $250-or-so in outlays plus a bunch of parts I had lying around, I've now got a G3 400 MHz system with DVD, ~25 GB of formatted disk space, 768 MB of RAM, and OS X Panther. Oh, and a spare Apple-branded 24x CD-ROM drive with no apparent use or value on eBay . . . . to go with my other two space 24x CD-ROM drives.
Figured out how to make the Microsoft-branded wireless card in the spare Windows box work with Windows network bridging; it now connects the Mac to the LAN via the Ethernet crossover cable.
