Someone is offering a G4 450mHz dual processor system for sale on a local
list. I expect by the time he is done, he will be willing to give it to
a good (or any home) instead of putting it in the trash/recycling.

It seems to good to throw out, but not good enough for me to take.
However if I were able to put a SATA controller in it, even if it were 
not bootable, it may have more appeal. 

Anyone done it? 

Do know if any of the cheap eBay controllers work in it? Are supported by
OSX. 

RAID, etc not needed, just enough to put in an internal drive bigger than
120 megabytes.

TIA,

Geoff.
