You don't say what kind of computer you're using that has USB 1.1. If it's one that you can add a card to, USB 2.0 cards are cheap. (Maybe somebody else can suggest which ones work best with your Mac.)

Before doing that, you have to know if the drive itself is IDE/PATA or SATA. Moreover, is the drive large enough to be worth the $40 or more you'll have to spend for the case, or should you get a larger, probably SATA, drive for external use? (The question of whether to buy the case and drive separately, or as a unit, is another matter. I lead towards the former.) - Aaron --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
