[G4] Re: Adding Drives to G4 AGP Graphics Model

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

The first hit you will get on "Google" (after the paid hits) when you 
enter "3rd hard drive mac g4" is titled "How to add a THIRD internal 
ATA hard drive to you G4, How to add a THIRD internal ATA hard drive to 
your G4 By Ben Bryant ... 3) Mac original ATA drive and first 
additional ATA drive ..."

However as a shortcut you can click on this link; 
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/install_third_ata_drive.html and 
it will take you directly to the information that you are looking for 
to add the 3rd disk to your G4
