I couldn't resist updating this setup when the chance came to get a good buy on an eSATA controller card.
I just won a Sonnet Tempo X4p PCI-X SATA II RAID card on Ebay ($25 plus $15 S&H).
It will work in my G4's PCI slot and can be moved to a G5 later.
I also picked up a Rocketfish RF- HD3035 SATA Hard Drive Enclosure so that I can install one of my SATA II hard disks into it.
Now I just have to figure out what to do with the SCSI hardware (I think I'll use it in my PC to backup my hard drive).
Edit - What to do with the SCSI drive? Keep it. The TempoX4p does not support bootable drives! My mistake. I guess I'll save it for use in a G5.
