My internal Superdrive died in my 2004 Power Mac Dual 2.0 GHz, I've already checked with the sales dept. at OWC and they can't help me. I wanted to upgrade the optical drive to a Lightscribe DVD burner, but I've hit the wall.
I'm thinking about using an adapter from my IDE Ultra ATA/100 connector on my Mother Board or is it Daughter Board? The adapter supposedly converts my IDE to SATA, so theoretically I could use a off the shelf DVD burner that supports LightScribe?????

Here's the problem on my G5 I have 39 male pins and every adapter I've checked has 40 female pin slots. Will this be a problem?
