heh, title still applies, we're talking blue and white g3's right?

i have a rev 1 g3. apple's stupid onboard ide controller can only handle 
*1* disk. linux does okay with two but spontaneously reboots. anyhow, so 
i've been looking at ide controllers for it as well, and i see some on 
OWC for about $60. to add 400gb for less than $600 is extremely 
appealing. especially for somebody with lots and lots and lots and lots 
of mp3s.
