[G4] Sawtooth Drive Install Hardware

[James Pacyga]

Jose-

Not true.  A drive is a drive SCSI or IDE.  However, you are correct in 
that the on-board IDE supports just two drives (the other IDE cable is 
for the optical/ZIP drives).  You can however use any type of PCI based 
controller (SATA, IDE, SCSI) to manage the additional drives.

I use a Sonnet SATA card with good results.
