the drive controller in G3 PowerBooks is incompatible with ATA-6 hard drives. When replacing the internal hard drive, you should be sure to obtain an ATA-5 compliant drive, ************************** I've seen this warning posted before and wondered how one would be able to tell whether or not a drive was Ata5., Ata6 or what have you. I've also asked this question before and received no response. Thank you for your help in this matter. -- Brad 55417-1734 "Pwr Mac G4 64 MB Radeon 7000 AGP Graphics OWC Mercury Extreme 1GHZ CPU Upgrade 1.15GB Ram 9GB Quantum Fireball/ OS 9.2.2 WDC 80GB/ OS X.4.4 Pioneer DVR 105 Pwr Mac G3 B&W 64MB Radeon 7000 PCI Graphics card 450MHZ CPU 1gb ram 120 gb Maxtor DiamondMaxPlus X.4.4/80gb Hitachi Deskstar Sata harddrive X.4/ 40gb Maxtor DiamondMax ATA hard drive/9.2.2 Seritek SATA Controller card/Pioneer DVR 105 OS X.3.9/ Lexmark X1185 all- in- one printer Powerbook 3400c 200MHZ, 144MB ram, 2gig harddrive, OS 9.1, modules; floppy, cd-rom, zip drive Pwrbk G3 Lombard 128mb ram/4gb hard drive/ OS X.2.8 If it's good to you, it's good for you -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
