[G4] adding HD capacity...

[sr ferenczy]

i would highly advise NOT using the Intech drivers. too many possible  
problems if the drivers dont load and you access data on the large  
drive.

for basically the same price (somewhere between $30 an $90) you can  
easily get an ATA expansion card with ATA-6 built in and connect  
(usually) up to four more drives-this way there is no worry of  
corrupted data from a driver not properly loading.

firewire drives need no drivers.
