[G4] G4 HD corruption?

[Mel Krewall]

The early blue G3s did because of a hardware problem with the EIDE 
controller, but I'm not sure about the G4s. I found the blue G3 info at 
xlr8yourmac.com. I didn't turn up anything on G4s. The drives might 
just be showing age. Do you have a ATA adapter you can try them with?
