Currently I have 3 HDs in my G4 Server, but one of them is in the zip drive bay. I want to get it out of there and maybe add another drive, but I need an IDE controller. Are there any good, inexpensive options?
Got a tip for us?

Most "inexpensive" would be a SiL 3112 SATA card flashed with that PPC BIOS.
Other than that you might get lucky searching on ebay for Mac specific cards, or even buying full systems.
Thats how I got that ATA133/SATA card that must be lying somewhere around here (and will never ever be used).

I picked up my Sonnet ATA 133 for about £20 on ebay, I just searched for PCI IDE cards and it wasn't listed as Sonnet so the price was fairly reasonable.
