iMac G3 - Will any slot loading IDE DVD/CD Drive fit?

[Tempest]

Got my iMac G3 machine with the basic CD-ROM Slot loading reader as standard.

Of course, ideally I'd like a Writer of some sort, and a DVD drive even better.

Not sure if the G3 (350Mhz) would have enough power to actually burn a DVD, but I'm sure it could burn a CD and read a DVD.

Anyway, just wondering. if I bought a normal standard IDE slot loading DVD Reader, or CD Rewriter. Would it:

A: physically fit?
B: work?

Do they have the be a particular make/physical size etc etc, or will any normal drive fit?

Poss some confusion here.

It's a iMAC slot loading desktop machine.

350Mhz with a slot loading CD reader under the front on the CRT screen.

I don't think a standard one will fit, cause when I went inside my imac, it had a weird adapter board on the cd drive:

and the drive is not a normal size:
