UATA ... all "alphabet soup" for a family of specifications for devices, mainly hard drives, all of which are intended to be downward compatible. Most hard drives being manufactured today are either UATA/100 or UATA/133, and all of these will operate with most EIDE, UATA/33, UATA/66, UATA/100 or UATA/133 hosts or cards. For example: your Beige G3 provides two EIDE (16.67 MB/sec) buses, but one can connect four devices to those two buses: two EIDE or UATA/33 or UATA/66 or UATA/100 or UATA/133 hard drives, and one ATAPI CD-ROM and one EIDE Zip, all simultaneously. Or four hard drives. Or three hard drives and one CD-ROM. Or anything in between. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
