Any suggestions on IDE to SATA adapters for a g4 MDD?

[sfp1954]

The StarTech adapter works great in my G4 350 AGP (Sawtooth). Tried two different drives. It will only boot (OS 9 at least) off a < 128GB drive, but OS 9.2.2 recognized a 240GB drive as well when it was set to slave.

Drives:

• Kingston 240GB SSDNOW V300
• Patriot 120GB Burst Elite

A boot volume/partition for OS9 should be no larger than 160 GB. Otherwise the partition will get corrupted. Are you using the ATA100 bus or the ATA133 bus on the MDD?

Was replying to @MBongo and @nomarkup and anyone else talking about Sawtooth.

Sawtooth is limited 128GB on the IDE bus.

Yes, that's what I said. It actually seemed to work other than to boot with, which makes me suspect it is a boot rom issue rather than OS or hardware.
