The daisy chained drives are 80GB, 160gb and 500GB containing 56GB, 140GB and 121 GB of data respectively. Is that OK? What's the 500GB limit related to ... a proportion of the size of the 1TB backup drive?

Does the Time machine 1 TB backup drive have to be empty or can it have some data on it also? (I assume any data on it could not be part of the Time Machine backup....)

I want to install a 1 TB SATA II drive internally in a Leopard G5 on the 2nd onboard SATA controller and use it as the target drive for Time Machine to back up the main drive and 3 HFS+ daisy chained external firewire drives.
Is that possible and easily so?

Should work with ease. This assumes the 4 drives being backed up are small (no more than 500GB total).
