I took apart a g3 ibook, I had mentioned in a separate thread it was not booting correctly - it turned out to be a dying drive.
Now it has a new drive in it I thought I would upgrade the cd-rom to the combo slot-load cw8123.
I've read on the web that this ibook has only one ata and that both the hard drive and optical will be set to master, hence why the ibook doesn't see the cw8123.
Can anyone suggest what I should do next ? Of course I can buy a combo drive that enables me to set it to slave. I'm just trying to avoid putting the cd-rom drive back in if I can. I have 4 of these cw8123 units and want to try to make use of them.
Thanks.
