I'm trying to install a HD from my old G4 (the HD is only about 1-1.5 years old) into the 2nd bay on my new G5, but the connections are different. The HD is a serial ATA maxtor, which takes a multi-pin connector plug (in the G4, this was on a wide ribbon cable), about a 20-pin. The G5 appears to take a sort of blade connection. I can't seem to find any info on an adapter, or any info at all on this kind of issue. Any ideas what's going on?
I'm attaching a pic of the situation.
Any input appreciated - thanks!
