[G5] Adding Disk Drives

[Tim Collier]

As a matter of fact, I just I just changed out the stock Serial ATA 
drive on my iMac G5.  I bought a 250 gig Maxtor.  Installation was 
pretty simple.  I got the instructions off of Apple's web site....of 
course they forgot to mention that you need a torx screwdriver to 
remove the thingy that holds the drive in place but a quick trip to Ace 
Hardware took care of that.  I'm putting the 160 gig drive into an old 
Quicksilver dual 1 gig G4.  I ordered a Serial ATA drive controller 
from Sonnet and it'll be here on Wednesday.  There's a video on Apple's 
website on how to do that too.
Do you have any specific questions?

Exterminate all rational though.
