Unfortunately, I don't have my 4400 here with me, and I haven't opened her up in a while, so I can't give you all the gory details, but...
Yes, it is possible -- I have two drives in mine now, one on the IDE cable and one on what used to be the external SCSI bus. The second drive mounts in the space vertically beside the CD-ROM and first hard drive, I believe. The only thing is that the IDE bus on the 4400 might not handle a slave hard drive. A better option might be an ATA/66 PCI card, which would give you some added speed as well as 4 device capability. --Chris iBook 700 OS X.2.4 PM 7500/200 OS 9.1 PM 4400/200 OS 8.6, NetBSD On Tuesday, April 1, 2003, at 06:52 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a Powermac 4400 with a 2 GB-Hd, and my question is whether I can > install a second IDE-HD in the slot under the CD-Rom.
