<< Can anyone with a similar configured G3 Mac tell of their successful HD and ATA PCI card upgrade.

HDT would not properly support deep sleep on the G3s, even with the built-in EIDE buses. I have no idea if HDT has since been fixed as it turned out that Drive Setup will properly handle any late EIDE or almost any UATA drive, thereby completely eliminating ay reason to own or use HDT. The VST card works well in any machine I have tested it in, and that includes 7200s through Beige G3s (and just about every Mac in between ... both with the machine's stock Apple processor and also with a G3 processor card). The OS X firmware from OWC fixes some problems with booting from some fast drives, but it breaks some features which formerly worked with the previous firmware. I've had no deep sleep problems on my Beige G3/300 MT with IBM and Maxtor drives, and with ProMax TurboMax UATA/33, ACARD UATA/66 (and derivatives) and VST UATA/66 (and derivatives) cards. The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 60 series and the IBM 60GXP series are both very reliable, very quiet drives. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
