The way I did mine which I just got last month was I have a scsi card
in my G4 tower, that boots into OS9, I put the Wallstreet into SCSI
target mode. You need a cable for that but you might want one anyway.
The best ones have a switch so it can be use as a regular cable as
well, maybe cost more though.
I also have an ide desktop to laptop adapter on which I have put an
old drive I took out, to archive the files elsewhere.
(the laptop drive goes inside the tower just like a full size drive).
I like that solution better than the usb adapter, its faster for the
not-usb2 machine and good for when you upgrade drive in such as
wallstreet w/out a usb adapter.
