[X4U] Connecting an IDE drive to a G5

[Paul Hawkins]

Yeah. That was my first choice, but it's in such a weird spot that I didn't want to mess with it. I was 
hoping there was another connection for IDE/ATA devices. Oh well. I found another solution. I hooked it 
up to one of the G4's and that works. Thanx for everyone's help.

connection for an IDE drive for copying stuff. Not certain about this you might want to google on it a 
bit. Use at your own risk...
