Can you advise what you cut on the hard drive caddy to make it fit the 3rd drive?
I did have a look at your pictures but I am not sure what you did

There's a picture of the caddy mod here that shows the cut-out. I'm not sure how to make it more clear. Do you have the drive caddy for the G4/G5 mini so you can compare your original to my photo?
