Yep, I just bought one, plugged it straight into my Sawtooth AGP G4 
using the cables that normally connect to the CD/DVD, and it works. I 
didn't even need to change any jumpers or do anything fancy.

I think I need some allen keys before I can install it properly 
though (it's just hanging out the side of the case for now).
