Hey.

I bought an 80 gig iMac 17" a few months ago. The drive now has 4 gigs free (!). Thus, I am looking to backup to an external drive - one that I can also run diskwarrior from, etc. I have a Maxtor 40 gig IDE (or is it ATA?) drive that I took out of my old G3 (I had set it to slave and ran it with the stock drive). Is there an adapter that I can buy to hook this drive up to the USB or Firewire ports of the iMac? Barring that, does anyone have any cool suggestions regarding backup drives and places to get 'em cheap?

Any info appreciated!
