        Not quite true: Any old IDE drive will NOT do: IDE and EIDE drives will
NOT work: The drive (for the 630 & 6300 series) must support (at least)
support ATAPI.

        I *think* G3 machines need UDMA support as well; but don't quote me on
that. Without UDMA support in both the controller *and* drive, CPU
utilization will "peg out" at 100% during disk access' - With the MacOS,
and *especially NT* this can be devastating.

        Most likely, your new 18 gig drive supports UDMA (although
your controller
might not); and most definitely your 18 gig drive supports ATAPI.
