Jim, are you adding the Sonnet Tempo to your platform or are you 
replacing the ATA hard disk PCI card?
If your adding the Sonnet, everything else should work just like it 
does now, however if you are replacing the ATA interface card, then 
your existing internal drive will function to work.

Your external LaCie drive should work as long as it doesn't connect to 
your G4 platform through the ATA card.
