[olug] OT: Mac G4 woes

Dave:

Do you have the original restore CDs that came with the G4?  Those should have a hardware test utility on them. 

What kind of G4?  Laptop, desktop?  AGP, MDD, Quicksilver?

My son's G4 will boot to the install CD, but will not recognize the IDE hard 
drive.  When I run system diagnostics I get no errors, but when I run 
hardware profiler, I don't see an IDE interface.  I think that's probably not 
a good thing:  Questions
1) Will the interface appear as IDE in System Diagnostics?
2) Is there a BIOS I can get into to check whether the IDE interface is 
enabled? 
2) If the IDE port is dead, can I put a SCSI card in?
3) Are there any diag iso's I can download to further pinpoint the trouble?

TIA.  Dave
