[QUOTE="pinto79, post: 1691007, member: 167075"] That machine uses a PATA connection for drives, so any DVD type drive that is PATA SHOULD work. I've put newer DVD drives in my G4 Power Macs with different levels of success. The newer ones have been more successful... The best way to see if a drive works is to just install it and try it. Those machines are a bit of a task to get into, but you're not really going to know otherwise. [/QUOTE]
