I just ordered a G3 iBook 800. I'm curious if anyone knows if a slot-loading superdrive will fit in this.

Thanks!

I think it will fit, but all g3 ibooks were tray loading if I remember correctly, so I dont think a slot loading drive drive would work.

Maybe call apple. But if they were to get you one, it would probably cost like $500.

You can probably find a try loading dvd burner easier than a slot loading one - though it will most likely be black or grey...

Look around for Laptop dvd burners from pioneer!

There is also a company that will do this for you...

No, you have to get the SuperDrive designed for the G3.
