[G5] Another dead iMac G5.

[Zane H. Healy]

I assume the iMac G5 uses SATA drives, while the G4 Quicksilver uses EIDE
drives?

The best bet is an external Firewire enclosure (but these might be hard to
find).  The cheapest route is a USB to EIDE/SATA cable.  I recommend having
one of these cables in any case.
