I was able to put the boot drive from the G4 into an enclosure and copy the data onto the boot drive of my dual G5. I was able to save my files.
The chicklet keyboard has something wrong with it. The trackball works connected through it but sometimes the keyboard itself is spurious and sometimes dead. I am currently using a different keyboard. Out of curiosity I was looking at microsoft usb keyboards for cheap at office max/depot whatever it is. I would think this would work on a mac but it doesn't say on the box. Is this a possibility? Also I was checking specs between the G4 and my old Umax S900 and they both use PCI cards. Would the Sonnet ATA133 work in the S900. It currently has a Sonnet ATA100 and use the bigger drives from the G4 in the S900? I know OSX would totally screw up the S900 because I tried booting and OSX CD with it once. Big mistake.
