The ATA # referred to just means you're stuck to that bus speed. An (EIDE, not serial!) ATA 100, 166, etc device will work, but will slow down at the bus. Check this out. http://www.computergiants.com/items/one_item.asp?part=69986&cat=5&subsubcat=1908 I've been using it in the same Mac as yours without a complaint for over half a year. Hell, get two while you're at it :-), though they *will* only show the first 138GB due to a technical reason I've currently forgotten. this will yield appx 128GB of useful space. NB: I've nothing to do with computergiants. It's simply the first site found by Sherlock when I entered wd1600jb (the drive model).
