[G4] sata drives

[Eric Smith]

Hi,

I put a SATA drive and controller in my G4 Sawtooth. I just
replaced one of the existing ATA drives, so I now have one
SATA and one ATA drive in the carriage. It's fairly easy to
remove the drive carriage and swap the drives. I'm sure you
could also mount it in other ways.

There shouldn't be any settings, unlike ATA where you need
to identify master/slave. Just connect it and the system
should recognize it as an additional drive.
