From the webpage I linked you to, [URL="http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/Add_2nd_drive/index.html"][B]Adding a 2nd IDE hard drive to B&W G3 rev 2 - Quicksilver G4 Towers[/B][/URL], this paragraph just blasted that idea of mine clear out of he water: As for the illustration you posted a link to, I know for having read it in one of the threads I linked you to that you have to dismiss the Cable Select configuration as your Power Mac will not support it. And did you try comparing this illustration to the photo in [URL="http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/Add_2nd_drive/index2.html"][B]Step 4 on page 2[/B][/URL] of the article I linked you to? Sorry for being such a nitwit and for being such poor help, I've never done this before. [/QUOTE]
