If yours is a G4-PCI Graphics aka Yikes it's ATA33, if yours is a G4-AGP Graphics it's ATAT66. >The new disk should just run at the slower transfer >rate.....or is there something more sinister that might happen, >like >destroying the ATA133 disk?? Well yes should be fine. But if you really want to take advantage of the ATA133 I recommend buying an ATA 133 controller. For Peter: RMA the drive and ask for a replacment. Happened to me to with a 30GB Maxtor D Plus. Beep-click-beep. RMA-d it and got a 40 GB last year. * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
