Also, do you have PCI or PCI-X slots in your G5 and which slot is the FirmTek card in?

ive got 4 drives in my G5 -- 2 300s and 2 160s
running off a SIIG card, about $45
you can get a fancy bracket to mount the drives on -- OWC sells one -- but i just used velcro, works great
think i have some pics somewhere...

I remember a few years ago a third-party add-on to allow this for first-gen G5s, and that it was a few hundred dollars. Is that what you have?
Never mind, some quick searching revealed how things have changed the last few years. Have more to consider now.

I got this one based on a recommendation here last month. I like that it is small and nicely put together, and if you can handle usb2 it is only $20.

For $20 it beats a kick in the pants; SOLD. Thanks Mike.
