OK, saying the item works perfectly with a "C2D Mac Mini" strikes me
as not very pertinent at this point. It's not where I would start
trying to figure this out.

It may well be that the design works but you have a bay and/or hard
drive that is defective.

Maybe you've already answered this and I just missed it, but I think
the first question to answer is does this bay and/or drive work in ANY
context. You can worry about whether or not the bay/drive combo works
in your G4 Mini after you have verified the parts themselves are not
just broken.

That's why I suggested trying them in another system or with an
external drive enclosure. First rule of problem isolation is to make
sure the source of the failure is not the component itself.

Once you know that the drive bay and your drive both work, then you
can go back and work on narrowing down in what context it does not
appear to work.

Huh? What "other adapter"?
