i haven't tried one of those converters, but i did have success in installing a Sonnet PCI SATA card in order to use a SATA drive. as i understand it, the Sonnet card is one of the few that supports booting from a SATA drive. once in a great while they are available on ebay, but i bought mine (new) from Provantage. it works great. i don't know if i'm getting full SATA speeds from to the PCI architecture in the G4, but i'm sure it's faster than the G4's ATA bus. one of the experts here can comment on that.
