John Baltutis:
"Read your Setting Up Your Power Mac G4 manual. It's all described under
Installing Internal Storage Devices. If you don't have the manual, 
download a
copy for your machine at...."

Me:
Do read manuals.

Also seek advice in forums. The brains here know it 'all' & more...

EX: The Setup Manual for my G4 GE did not indicate the option to 'add' a 
3rd HD by using the Zip channel.
No, it's not perfect & one must weigh 'the loss' of the Zip drive versus 
an additional HD.

But, I found that out in this forum & not in the manual.

Bon chance!
PS: There are neater and larger manuals floating around.
Act helpless, a sekrit note may appear.
