[G4] 1.25 MDD Hard Drive Replacement?

[jonny]

Thanks, Ron.  Are you suggesting no internal hard drives, only 
external via FW 800?  Is there a downside to this?  That is, do I 
want to have one internal HD or can I do this without any internal 
hard drives in the MDD?

I like the idea of limiting the load on the power supply by using 
drives externally with their own power supplies.  Anything that will 
help me avoid this problem again is most welcome.

Thanks.
