[G4] Re: nonexistent drive

[Eric Wood]

No dice indeedy. The Rage 128 card is a video card. The Mac shouldn't  
currently have a PCI card for the ATA/IDE, but when you get one, you  
plug the drives into that card instead of the interfaces on the  
motherboard.

Video card will have nothing to do with it, so just put the best one  
available in there.
