New G4 drives and modems
I just recieved my new Dual Gig "wind tunnel" and I had a few problems installing some of the parts from my old B&W. First off I went to install a extra ATA 66 drive and I needed to change the jumpers on the built in ATA 100 drive but I couldn't get the ATA100 Chasis out. They have a great design were you just pull a tab and it all comes out. That worked great on my ATA 66 chasis but the ATA 100 tab was really stuck. I finally got it out but then the chasis it self still wouldn't slide up and out no matter how hard I pushed on it. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I was also hoping to install my old internal modem from my G3 B&W but it appears that it won't work with this model. Anyone have any advice where to get a internal modem for the new duals now that I've already passed on the one apple ships with it? Thanks.

An external modem will set you back between $50 and $100, I'd wager that ordering the Apple internal model through your local mac reseller will cost you upwards of $100 by the time you're through. Bet you wish you hadn't cheaped out on the $29, eh?
As far as the harddrive goes, uh, hmmm... no clue here.
