As far as I know it isn't possible. I'm pretty sure that until the the Rev. B of the Beige PM G3's, the internal ATA bus on macs could only support one drive in "master" configuration.

AFAIK, you can't do it without a PCI ATA card.Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert

Thanks for the tips, guys! I'm thinking that I'm gonna sell some of my old stuff and raise a little dough for a new HDD for the 6500- hopefully one that's big enough to negate the need for multipul drives.
Thanks again!
