Hi all,
I've received another adapter from my chinese friend. It doesn't work as the
previous one. So I suppose that Mac Mini G4 doesn't support a double hard
disk solution.
I hope this could be a good information for everybody.

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to recycle my old Mac Mini G4 and use it as a print/fax server.
How can I do that? Do you have any idea?
I thought about Tiger 10.4.11 as OS, but I really don't know anything else
about the general configuration of my Mac.
Thanks

Hey guys, I'm born again!
Yesterday night I put the adapter on a Mac Mini C2D 1,83GHz (Mac Mini 2,1)
and the system doesn't recognize the sled.
I'm very sad! It doesn't work either on a Mac Mini Intel.
