Replace Hard Drive in G3 BW (REV 1)?

I want to lose the original 9 gig HD and put in something like this: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160GB 3.5" IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive - OEM (7200 rpm).

I now know I have to add a ACARD AEC-6280M PCI IDE Controller Card For Mac and aside from being unsure about adding these 2 things, do I have to watch where the PCI card goes to maximize the drive?

Thanks all!

My setup:

G3 BW (r.1)/ XLR8 G4/600 Mac OS X (10.3.9) PIONEER DVR-107D

i think you do, or, i think you get onea these .rev chips off of ebay..but i think it only lets you up to 120? i could be wrong

my G3 wouldnt recognize my 120 when i tried it

With a PCI IDE Controller Card?

Check these URL's. The 2nd talks about the Rev 1 IDE controler problems. There are many links on the 1st url that will help you out. DO use a Mac Compatible PCI Ide controler!!! Even if it's a Rev 2, there is still the 120GB limit, but the Rev 1 has data corruption problems.
