[G4] 2002 quicksilver (Mar 2002) - adding second hard drive

[sr ferenczy]

your 933 will handle ata 133 no problem - it has 64 bit PCI slots. 
(note:133MB/s is only a theoretical limit, my usual transfer rates on a 
QS 867 with an ata 133 card are about 50-70 MB/s depending on size of 
files, etc.)  the card included with the drive might not work, but the 
fact that it is promise chip based *might* help... sonnet uses the 
promise chipsets, and i believe i have read on www.xlr8yourmac.com that 
some promise based pc ide cards have been successfully flashed for mac 
use using sonnet's utilities.
