Use an Ultra ATA drive on G5

You could have gotten a Serial-to-Ultra adapter for about $20.

As long as you don't have any problems with the reversed cable you should be ok.

mising fast and slow devices

Sounds like a bad idea... I was always told when putting ATA devices together, you should never put slow devices (like optical drives) with fast ones (HD), because the channel will have to slow down for the optical drives, isn't that true anymore?

Officially, Apple does not support the SATA/PATA adapters.

As such, Apple reserves the right to refuse warranty service for any event which may have been attributed to the use of a SATA/PATA adapter.
