 Nice review. Although it seems that the peg2 just doesnt like your hd. Slave devices work fine here. I have 4 ide devices on these boxes sometimes. My personal Peg2 G4 has a DVD Rom Drive - an LG 8161B 16x (Plays DVD nicely in MOrphos) a Samsung CDRW drive 48x write (burns CD's well with BurnIt for Morphos) I also have a Maxtor 40gb Diamond Max on Master Primary ide. Sometimes a put a Seagate 40gb baracuda as slave on Primary and the whole box works perfectly.

Selling your cool A3000 setup for a peg2 g4 will be the best move you could make! Its incredibly fast. Pretty much all Amiga software that runs on Cybergrafx runs on Morphos. Also there is TONS of Native MorphOS apps like

Mplayer - QT, DVD, VCD, Mpeg,Divx, etc media player
Kaya - Mp3/ogg player
Mencoder - DVD/VCD ripping mpeg encoding
LAME - Mp3 encoder
MlDonkey - Morphos port of the p2p edonkey client
Wget - wed address get from website
Papyrus Office - Morphos native Wordprocessor with M$ Word import!
Image FX 4.5 Studio - 68k with PPC extensions MOS version
BurnIt Pro - CD, CDRW, DVD Writing for Morphos

and much more:

www.morphzone.org

software section

Also legacy 68k Apps that work are many such as

Photogenics 5
ATC ftp
Ibrowse
YAM
Aweb
TvPaint
AmIrc
etc..

Also 3d PPC Games like Shogo, Heretic 2, Quake2, and more..

AND you can run Linux with Altivec support as well as Mac OS X with Mac On linux!

All this for under $700!
