[G4] Re: Add 2nd HD to G4 Quicksilver[Richard]

[B G]

Hi, new to the list but i wanted to add my 2 cents. I just did this to 
my G4 with a Seagate 160 gb. A Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) and 
later using 10.2 has the 48 bit capabilities to use drive larger than 
128 GB. all others will only ne able to format to 128, but if you have 
access to a newer machine and set up partions your G4 will be able to 
read them. I put my drive into a firewire box and did 3 equal partions 
using a iMac G5, so it shows up as 3 drives on my G4.

The other option is to install a PCI card like the Sonnet tempo it will 
support 2 drives and use the 48 bit technology
