[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 804983, member: 42497"] For louishen suggestion you will need to buy and install a USB2 PCI card. The generic ones usually work and if you PM me will pass on a Hong Kong dealer who sells USB2 cards that work well in G4 towers. Also machines with PCI cards can have sleep problems. PPC machines will not boot from a USB2 external drive. If you want the external drive bootable use Firewire. [/QUOTE]
