>>> E-bay is auctioning an Apple 80GB HD pulled from a G4 dual 1.25 GHz.
snip >>> I have a G4-MT rev.2. Actually, I have a G3-MT rev. 2. Does what you >>>said >>>still apply? All previous comments still apply. However, (again with the howevers!!), you are not going to get much of a speed boost on HD activity hooking the drive to the onboard IDE connector, but you will get full use of the storage capacity. As to the speed, the onboard IDE maxes out at a theoretical 16.667 MB/sec on a beige (IIRC that is what you have, I don't know about B&W), and I have never seen real world transfers over 8MB/sec. I have a 80G IBM drive hooked to a Ahard ATA 133 card and I get transfers in the 40MB/sec range. HTH, Len -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
