[G4] 3rd HD - - Tired subject, sorry...

Me: "I'm unable to get a firm "yes/no" regarding if I can use the Zip 
IDE for an HD."

Thanks James.
I wasn't able to figure out what happened to most of yer post...no  matter.
The above is a 'real world' experience which is tough to refute & it 
will take a scary story for me to not make the move.
(Unless someone warns against some danger you have been lucky to avoid, 
it's 24 hours and counting...)

"Speed" should not matter [a ?] as I'd only use it as a vault for music 
(um, how much 'slower' is 'slower'?).

Your success does beg another quesion:
With the 128Gig limit, I should think your route would be reflexive?  I 
realize there are IDE workarounds (for a faster IDE on that channel) or 
one could spring $'s and be able to access a larger disc.

OTOH, unless one is tied to the Zip...that channel seems to be the best 
'free' option to gain storage space beyond 2, 128's. Or, am I wrong and 
it's not clouded with caveats as I seemed to think?

Thanks, again!
