I also made similar upgrades to my 400 mHZ Yikes G4 and recall in xlerate your mac that these machines can only address drives up to 120 GB so that my be Amanda's prob with her USB drive.
It is very worthwhile to kick $400 to $500 in to upgrade a late G3 B&W or early G4 they have lots of life left. The only caveate is if you want a non-intel Mac buy it in 2006 or wait till 2007 to get a second or revised Intel Mac (sound strange to me). If you got caught with the awesome G4 that changed rapidly in 1999 it's first year you'll know what I mean. cheers al west -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
