The G4s that I have that HAD SCSI, had their controllers pulled by the admins 
prior to being scrapped (these are from University Surplus) - oddly, I have a 
couple G3 Macs that still have their SCSI controller - I guess I could swap 
the controllers, but I think SATA would perform better (bang/buck) for large 
drives...

Yep, AFAIK that is true (one of the Macs has an IDE controller card, along 
with TWO SCSI cards (one is a grappler, the other Adaptec 2940 of some 
sort)...
