[G4] Hard disk update feedback

[Craig Turner]

Jak,

I did a quick look at the OWC site. I don't see any indication that any 
of their cases could take a SCSI and then is adapted to Firewire. Come 
to think of it, I don't recall seeing any Firewire cases that 
incorporate SCSI HDs—they've all been, in my somewhat limited 
experience, IDE/ATA. But, of course, I could be very wrong and there 
may be a way to incorporate SCSI in a Firewire chain (maybe an adapter 
card??).

But the fastest way to check this is to email or call OWC. I've had 
good luck with them in all correspondences.

HTH,
Craig
