Converting from a 4400 to a 7300

Evening. I gather the main hard drive in the 7300 is SCSI. I have an IDE 10 gig in my 4400. Is there space in the 7300 to install my IDE drive in the 7300. I know I will need to get and ATA card. Lee -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics

You can also put one of those nifty 3.5 front-panel USB/FW hubs (like lots of PC users have) in the lower drive bay if your USB/FW card has an internal connector. My fire wire usb card does have an internal fire wire port. But I do not get what you are talking about. Lee -- PCI-PowerMacs
