Another possible way to go that might work for you is to use a simple SATA to PATA adapter "dongle" card instead of a SATA PCI card. I'm thinking of one of the small converters which has the SATA connectors on it. For example/pictures only, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/SATA-PATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B002Y2NI4M (For some reason these are harder to find than the ones designed to allow connecting a PATA drive to a SATA port.) -irrational john -- 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.
