Does anyone have experience with having both and IDE and SATA (via
SATA-to-IDE adapter) installed in the same G4 Macintosh?
I currently have two rotational drives, one with Tiger installed, the other
with Leopard on my G4 2002 Quicksilver. The Leopard drive is beginning to
should "yellow" SMART indicators, and I'd like to replace it with an SSD.
Is this possible to have an IDE and SATA drives on the same cable (with
adapter, of course)? If so, does it matter which is set to master/slave?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

I have used both together on the same machine but I don't know I if I have
actually tried both on the same cable before but I don't think there would
be a problem. The SATA drive is on an adapter and so the machine doesn't
see it as a SATA. However, I am very sure that most adapters are going to
be preset as Cable Select (CS) so I would set the ATA drive likewise.

The only thing that you might have to do is change out the drive power plug
as the adapter might not have it included.
I have a G4 MDD with a 500 gb SATA drive fitted via an adapter in it and
under it there is a 160 gb ATA hdd . All I needed to do is put a psu
fitment on the power line on the same line as the old drive.

Thanks for the replies everyone. The Addonics converter has a
floppy-to-IDE power adapter plug included. Now that I was able to get a
working Leopard system installed on the SSD, everything seems to be working
fine - at least for the past 36 hours :-)
I'm still at a loss to understand why the Mac OS X 10.4 DVD Installer
recognized the drive, but the Mac OS X 10.5 Installer doesn't.
In any case, since cloning the system from my HDD to the new SSD, Leopard
is working.

10.5(.0) was buggy. Unfortunately it's not possible to create a 10.5.8
installation DVD, but my guess is that this last Leopard update would
show the drives normally.
