I know mine came with a 7200RPM ATA/66 drive, and it died, so I've ordered a ATA/100 Drive, will it be supported? or will it run in ATA/66 mode? jw..thanks.

The PowerMac G4 Digital Audio has an ATA66 IDE interface, which won't make any difference at all though. The harddrive may be as fast as 30-40 MB/s which is still way below the maximum of 66 MB/s
