dudes, I finally got around to putting in my maxtor 46 gig HD. It freaking RULES. Its so quiet I can't even tell if its spinning..... does anyone have a ... utility that lets you know when it is accessing the HD? Like a blinky light thing for the apple menu bar? I seriously can't hear this thing at all, so I don't know if it is locked or not. :|

I think one of the Norton Utilities has a control panel that can do that. I think it's DiskLight.

A warning, disk light screws with 9.1 pretty majorly...
I saw someone who had attached an LED to the HD array and put it in the Apple logo on a G4 or G3 tower... you could do that on an iMac too I assume...
Anyone here done it to a G4 tower??

Look in the docs that came with the drive. There is a "LED" set of pins on the drive. Run a wire to the LED from these two pins (watch polarity) and you have a light.

How bout a lighted Apple on the G4 Tower? I know Norton Disk light will show you disk activity. Get the newest one if you are using 9.1

Ca$h, if you go onto Maxtor's website, they'll usually have the drive descriptions with schematics of where to put the LED connections etc. At least i know IBM and Seagate have these schematics on their sites, i would assume Maxtor would too! Good luck :-)
