[G4] Options for adding disk space to Power Mac G4?

[Tony Gamble]

I highly recommend this option, except make certain it's Firewire and  
not USB (your Mac will not boot from USB).  An external Firewire HD  
would greatly outperform your internal ATA/66 bus.  Actually, make  
that two external HD's, one for Leopard and one of at least the same  
size or larger for Time Machine.  The Time Machine drive can be either  
FW or USB.
