Apple G3 Personal Computer User Manual


 
Basics Data Buses - 14
hard drives or removal media devices to their system.
The Power Macintosh G3 Desktop units that support this
feature can only be identified by looking at the logic board
itself and verifying the revision of the built-in video ASIC
made by ATI Technologies. If you are looking at the logic
board with the rear connector towards you, the video ASIC is
located approximately 1” from the built-in video connector
on the logic board.
If the ASIC reads: “ATI 3D Rage II+DVD,” the logic board
does not support the master and slave configuration; If the
controller reads: “ATI 3D Rage Pro PCI,” the logic board
does support the master and slave configuration.
Note:
Although the ATI chip is an ideal way to identify the
version of the logic board, it does not control the EIDE
interface.
