it.  And that support for true MS/slave IDE was comparatively recent. >>

AFAIK that only affected rev 1 G3s (both beige and blue).  The rev 2s and 3s 
of each machine supported slave drives fully I believe.  Anyway, im using a 
sawtooth.  Should work considering it came stock with 3 internal ATA drives.
