[G4] Quicksilver 3rd Hard drive

[sr ferenczy]

the screws dont fit because that bracket was made for a zip drive, not 
for a harddrive. the ide connector there is also only ata-33 so it will 
be a bit slow, even compared to the already slow ata 66 on the main 
(factory boot drive) ide bus.

that being said, i do house a scsi drive up in there, and i use the 
scsi drive as my os x swap partition-> no problems in 2 years of use.
