AFAIK, any G4 uses the same IDE/PATA interface as the G3, so it can use any G3's HD. I have a G4 Digital Audio, and it took my Beige G3's HD flawlessly. The G4 QS has room for two drives internally (I think you could add a third one, but maybe not as easily). Just take care of the master/slave setup. When having more than one drive (or moving a drive from another computer), be sure one drive is master (better the boot drive) and the other is slave. Regarding "hooking" the two computers, I'm not sure what you mean. One way to access a different computer's drive, however, is using Firewire Target mode: - Boot the "main" Mac - Connect the two Macs using a Firewire cable - Boot the second Mac while holding down the "T" key (the screen should show a Firewire moving logo) - The second Mac's HD(s) should appear on the main Mac's desktop; remember to unmount (move to the Trash) it before disconnecting or switching off the Macs. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
