I have Power Macintosh 5400/180, which has IDE hard drive and SCSI interface.
Can I [1] boot from scsi hard drive instead of IDE hard drive? [2] Can I use slave IDE hard drive? [3] If I can not use slave IDE hard drive, can I upgrade?

[1] Yes. Control Panels/Startup Disk. Select your SCSI drive. Restart.
[2] Yes. In addition to your 'master' drive. Jumpers set accordingly on 'slave' drive. [3] Yes. You can get a larger IDE drive (They are cheap!) and partition it so you see two or more volumes on your desktop and they act as separate entities for the most part (They still are only one physical drive).
