Is it possible to remove an ATA drive from one Powermac and stick it into
another and have it work? Or must it be reformatted? Someting I read
somewhere along the line in the instructions to an ATA card warned that you
could not just hook up a drive to it without a backup and restore.
Does that apply to the internal ATA bus in PCI PMs too?
Internal bus to internal bus is fine. No reformatting needed. I took the HD from my beige G3 with 10.2..8 on it and just plopped it into my new digital audio and fired it up with no problems.
