I thought the max. was 137, but yes, the bus on the QS machines is limited. You can buy a PCI ATA133 card or a PCI SATA card and expand internally that way.

Here's one that's $60.00.

How many times must this questioned be asked?

Seriously folks, this has to be the number one question asked in the Power Mac forum.

Do a search.
