| Any suggestions on IDE to SATA adapters for a g4 MDD? |

The StarTech adapter works great in my G4 350 AGP (Sawtooth). Tried two different drives. It will only boot (OS 9 at least) off a < 128GB drive, but OS 9.2.2 recognized a 240GB drive as well when it was set to slave.
Drives:
- Kingston 240GB SSDNOW V300
- Patriot 120GB Burst Elite
A boot volume/partition for OS9 should be no larger than 160 GB. Otherwise the partition will get corrupted. Are you using the ATA100 bus or the ATA133 bus on the MDD? |

G4 350 AGP (Sawtooth) Was replying to @MBongo and @nomarkup and anyone else talking about Sawtooth. |

Sawtooth is limited 128GB on the IDE bus. Yes, that's what I said. It actually seemed to work other than to boot with, which makes me suspect it is a boot rom issue rather than OS or hardware. |
