[G4] 2002 Quicksilver - adding second hard drive

[David Crandon]

I'll just add one thing to Mels excellent explanation. Before you plug
in the cables, you'll probably have to remove the one screw directly in
front of the drive so you can easily lift it up in order to attach the
cables and attach the new drive to the tray.
