[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 559604, member: 24098"] Where there's a will, there's a way - but I think you're looking at a pretty serious hack. The Superdrive in the Powerbook uses an ultra-slim, semi-proprietary form factor. You would need to fabricate some sort of bracket, a faceplate and source an adapter for the connector. It would probably be easier to just buy a standard 5 1/4" bay CD/DVD burner and modify the faceplate to fit in a PowerMac. [/QUOTE]
