Will this sun multipack device work on my G4?

Yes, it will work, but you need a Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI card such as this one http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=6162&Item=APL6612171. No additional software would be needed.

Incase you're not familiar with this product, it is a JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks). It will show up to your system as 12 seperate 9.1GB disk drives. The only real reason you would want to purchase this, is if you wanted to do a RAID 0 setup of the disks using the Disk Utility to get very fast I/O spread across all 12 disks. Otherwise, it is very loud, it uses a large amount of power, and is bulky, not to mention expensive. I have one collecting dust, I actually noticed a drop in my electric bill after I powered it off.

That card would work, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's fairly slow. Probably best just to spend $100 and get a 120G harddrive from bestbuy :)
