removing original 10 Gig drive to install larger drive. (Someone
else is doing the work. )
In terms of size and price, I'm probably looking at 40-100 Gig -
which means on-line, probably, as most stores have larger drives,
more
doesanyone have suggestion for how to configure Dealmac alert for
these drives? I can't figure out how to do it without getting tons
of SATA drive -- an none suitable for Mac laptops.

What enclosure to get?
Only one that is easy/convenient to get is MacAlly.
I like that it has firewire 400/800/USB.
I like that it is portable, though, even smaller size/weight

I would suggest you contact their tech support. That model should
support 512 MB sticks, but they have to be the right type. I looked up
a G4 466Mhz (Digital Audio) and if it handles 512MB sticks, then yours
should. Describe what is happening to you and I think they will take
care of

Out of curiosity ... is that something that can be re-done at each

I bought a NexStar USB 2.0. It's tiny and came with a little (cheap)
carrying case.
Anyone with experience using a Sonnet G4/1GHz/2MB in a PowerMac
8500/9500?
They're going for $100 so I'd thought that would be a nice boost from
G4/450 (in my 8500) or G3/500 (in my 9500), even though its
bottlenecked by the 50MHz bus to some degree. They say they've fixed
the lower PCI Slot

You say it is not a hack, and you may well be right. It appears that
it is only a property that is negotiated between the firmware and the
drive.
A property between the firmware and the Apple ATA drive controller,
not the HD itself.

They use the terms as they wish, to make the drives seem as large as
