Just get an ATA 133 (Maxtor) or ATA 100 HD and put it in your iMac. ATA is downwards compatible meanning that of you put an ATA 100 HD in your iMac w/ ATA 33 that the HD will run @ ATA 33. That's what we all do with our iMacs & B&W G3s and early G4s. Check the Drive Compatability Database @ xlr8yourmac.com (link is at the top there). You'll find a lot of info there from fellow Mac users who have already done that upgrade. Marc * * -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
