[QUOTE="DylJones, post: 290493, member: 22773"] Hey all, I have a G3 Power Mac which I got from eBay that had a faulty CD drive. I had a spare DVD-RW drive in my PC so I popped that in to see what would happen. As a CD/DVD ROM driveit works great, however when it comes to writing, nothing happens. A few weeks ago (while looking for the solution to another problem) I found a web page that (if I recall correctly) described a hack to make any writer drive compatible with a mac. Typically I can't find it now. Does anyone know if I can do this or was i just imagining it? Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
