Mine is Epson SC740

The epson 740 and older models have parallel and serial interfaces, if I
remember correctly.  Your G4 hasn't got serial and the printer connection is
usually usb.  There may be workarounds/hacks like usb to serial cables etc, but
your money would be better spent on a new printer with a usb interface, as
almost all have nowadays.  The cable would cost like $40 and a brand new Epson
printer, at leaset as good as your 740, maybe $80 and you'd have up to date
technology and a much simpler connection to the printer.  Also your Panther
drivers would be match the printer.

ATA is just a newer version of IDE.  Drives and cables are interchangeable,
though the faster new drives use a newer cable but have the same plug ends.
