I'd say it won't work in your G4, based on the picture and description on that web page. Not only that, but your G4 doesn't have a floppy drive bay to put it in. You'd be better off with an external USB reader.

That's just a USB flash reader, and has a connector for an internal USB header. Some PC motherboards have a connector for it right on the motherboard. If you don't have a plug for it, then you're outta luck.
Just get an external one.
I suppose you could try finding an IDE one, but the only one I've tried didn't work in the three different PCs I tested.

Don't some powerbooks have a PC card slot? They have CF readers for these.
Oops, PowerMac, not PowerBook forum...
