[G4] stuck and need to upgrade-resend, last got sent back

[Send2Rich at aol.com]

Before you start changing jumpers, check your manual.    If it says that you 
need to set up the drives for "cable select", you won't have to worry about 
master/slave setttings or which bay the drive goes in, but you wll need to 
verify that the new drive's jumpers are set to "cable select" (most new drives come 
that way).

The new drive won't be usable until it's initialized.   Be sure to write the 
OS 9 drivers if you want to boot into OS 9.

I've used SuperDuper! to successfully clone about 20 drives on my two G4's, 
many of them involving target volumes larger than the source.
