Boot Drive/Audio drive -SCSI?

[JimiTM]

Hi Guys,

Just purchased a MAC (new to Mac, was a pc user)

G3-450Mhz/128MgRam/9.1 Gig SCSI U2W

I am trying to work out what is the best possible configuration to run the hard drive in.. these are my options:

1) Partition the SCSI into a boot partition for all my applications (including the 001), and have the remaining partition for tracking the Audio onto

or..

2) I have a couple of 2 gig IDE drives. I could put one into the G3 and use that for the bootable/application Drive, and leave the SCSI 9.1 gig completely for audio tracking..

Any thoughts on what would work best?

Also, should I keep the 001 application (ie, PTLE 5) on the bootable drive.. or at least on a separate partion from the drive that the audio will be tracked onto??

Thanks for any info!
(PS: I'm receiving my 001 later in the week, and wish to get the G3 setup as best I can before I get the 001

Sorry about the multiple threads... *oops!*

Steve Rosenthal, are you able to answer my queries?


Thanks again,

Jim,

Sorry for the delay. I'd strongly recommend option 2.

I'd also suggest you keep the Pro Tools application on the boot drive.
